Riccardo Marzi

Biography

Riccardo Marzi started trading at the age of 18, and paid for his university education with the profits from his stock market investments. He began working for one of Italy's largest brokers while still at university.

After graduating from Milan's Bocconi University in 1996 with a first-class degree in economics, Riccardo moved to London and worked as a sales trader in the City. He covered all major European and American markets looking for absolute return strategies; his client base comprised primary institutional clients including long-only funds, hedge funds and proprietary desks.

In 2001, while working as a trader during the day, Riccardo went on to complete a MSc in Applied Statistics and Operation Research at the University of London's Birkbeck College.

Riccardo retired in 2007, and now spends his days travelling the world, using his trading skills and experience to spot investment opportunities.

Riccardo also runs his own investment newsletter, Events Trader.
