Byron Securities hires energy, gold analysts
Andrew Willis
Former retail brokerage house Byron Securities expanded its research coverage this week by hiring a gold and energy analyst.
The new arrivals at Toronto-based Byron are Drew Clark, who will cover precious metal plays, and Guy Gordon, who follows oil and gas stocks. Mr. Clark has four years experience at the associate level at other dealers, including CIBC World Markets, while Mr. Gordon was at Toll Cross Securities. These moves were first picked up on the Bill’s Buzz blog run by executive search firm Vlaad and Co.
The larger move at this employee-owned firm came earlier this year when corporate finance boutique Becher McMahon Capital Markets rolled its team into Byron Securities, creating an institutional investment banking group in a dealer that had been focused on serving individual clients.
