Eddy Markus
Executive director/Chief analyst
After obtaining a degree in economics from VU University Amsterdam, Edward Markus immediately became involved in managing a sizeable family fortune. After a number of years of extensive training in currencies and interest rates he assumed full responsibility for all (medium-term) interest and currency positions relating to these assets. In the early 1980s he switched from asset management to consultancy. He initially established Interest & Currency Consultants (ICC) as a consultancy agency for the business sector. Under his management it has grown into a successful consultancy agency specialised in virtually all facets of treasury management, corporate & structured finance, and market outlook. As an analyst he has closely followed the financial markets for over 25 years. His carefully formulated opinions are the mainstay of numerous publications on this subject.
