FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
STAMFORD, Conn., May 3, 2016 -- Hedgeye Risk Management, a leading independent provider of investment research and online financial media firm, announced today that healthcare policy authority Emily Evans has joined Hedgeye Potomac Research as a Managing Director to lead its Health Policy sector. Evans has over three decades of professional experience working both in and around government and is regarded as a leading authority in the area.
“We’re very excited to welcome Emily to our growing Washington policy team following our acquisition of Potomac in January,” said Hedgeye CEO Keith McCullough. “She brings an impressive foundation of knowledge and real-world public policy experience. Her insight will augment our existing fundamental Healthcare research led by Tom Tobin. The big winner here is our clients who gain greater visibility into investing developments and implications in one of the most significant U.S. sectors.”
Prior to joining Hedgeye, Evans was a partner at Obsidian Research, a healthcare research boutique that she founded.
Throughout most of her career, she worked in public finance at J.C. Bradford & Co. until its sale to UBS/PaineWebber in 2000. As the Investment Limited Partner in charge of municipal bond underwriting, Evans helped to bring over $10 billion in securities to market – including hundreds of healthcare-related projects such as skilled nursing facilities, continuing care retirement communities and acute care hospitals.
“Emily brings deep healthcare policy, regulatory and legislative acumen to the table,” said J.T. Taylor, Managing Director at Hedgeye Potomac Research. “Her addition rounds out our robust Washington to Wall Street research.”
In recent years, Evans has also provided consulting services to the government and finance communities. She served for nine years on the Nashville City Council and is a graduate of Mount Holyoke College.
“I am thrilled to be adding deep healthcare policy, regulatory and legislative research to the robust Hedgeye platform,” said Evans. “This firm is uniquely positioned to deliver high-quality, actionable research to investors interested in that 17 percent of the U.S. economy dedicated to the delivery of healthcare services.”
