Amelia Bourdeau Shares Her Hedge Fund Trading Secrets, Ep #33

Subscribe to How To Trade It

Amelia Bourdeau majored in economics and political science in college. After graduating, she was recruited to the Federal Reserve Board during the Asian financial crisis. She worked in the International Finance Division and was working on the Euro project in 1998 up until its launch in 1999. When a senior person at the Fed left and went to Wall Street, she left with them and landed at the Deutsche Bank in NYC. It launched her 15-year Wall Street career.

The first years in Amelia’s career were heavily influenced by world events (9/11, the NASDAQ bubble, recession, etc.). She learned how competitive the environments were—in a good way. The Fed set a high bar for research. Wall Street was all about staying ahead of the pack. It was a whole new level she wasn’t expecting at the start of her career. But she learned how the markets move. Amelia shares some of her expertise in this episode of How To Trade It.
