Bob Nowicki - Commission Management and the "No Action" Letter

Castine LLC

In this conversation we meet Bob Nowicki, a luminary in the commission management space.  

Bob has over three decades of experience and is one of the rare individuals on the Street who has deep experience in building operations, middle offices, and trading desks for the buy and sell side, both in fixed income and equities, including his own hedge fund.   

For the last two decades, Bob had been leading commission management programs at Bank of America Merrill Lynch and Evercore ISI.  While at Merrill Lynch, Bob took part in building out an internal research survey business and also launched and managed its internal independent research marketing firm, Merrill Open Minds.  

Bob received his B.S. in Finance from St. John’s University and currently consults in the areas of client strategy, commission management, operations, and independent research.

This conversation is hosted by Tom Smith, Castine's EVP of Sales.
