DAVID PERSAUD
PRINCIPAL
“I launched myself on to Wall Street initially as a way to escape academia! After two years of junior college in my home country of Guyana, I was accepted at the University of Oklahoma in Stillwater, where I had the unique experience of being the only person who looked like me in most classes. Based on my background and academic grades, I was offered a full ride to get my master’s degree at Rutgers University in New Jersey.”
“New Jersey was a very different place to Oklahoma, but I adapted quickly. After finishing my Masters, doing some junior teaching and completing the coursework for my Doctorate in Economics, I decided I had spent enough years going to school and decided the world of Wall Street was for me”
“I have over 30 years of experience on Wall Street in major firms such as Merrill Lynch and Lehman Brothers, going from wet behind the ears broker, to Branch owner/manager. However, I began to see the downside of commission based investing – the costs to the client, the volatility, and the restrictions from various governing bodies that really did nothing for the client.”
“After identifying the downside of traditional investing and looking at my 30 + years of experience with world markets, I decided to package these skills and launch a unique consulting business that allows my clients to benefit from my knowledge without the traditional commission structure.”
“Welcome to the world of Black Swan Global Investments.”
