Reuters – One of London’s top analysts, James Montier, has resigned from French bank Societe Generale to join a hedge fund, a source with knowledge of the situation said on Thursday.
The source did not say which hedge fund has employed Montier, recently voted best strategist in the Thomson Extel survey, alongside colleague Albert Edwards.
The pair joined Societe Generale from Dresdner Kleinwort in December 2007 as co-heads of global strategy.
