Henk-Jan Pijper
Financial Markets Analyst
Henk-Jan has long been fascinated by the dynamics of financial markets and the influence of psychology on the behaviour of financial practitioners. He joined ECR Research in 2011 as a chart-technical specialist, using his vast experience to provide a balance with the fundamental research techniques also employed here. Not only does Henk-Jan analyse currency, interest rate and stock market developments but he is also the author of our unique ‘Markets to Watch’ reports as part of our Asset Allocation service.
In 2002, Henk-Jan graduated in Economics for Rotterdam’s Erasmus University and specialised in Financial Markets and Investments. He additionally read Financial Economics both at Hofstra University, New York and Uppsala University. He went on, in 2004, to work as a trader for an internationally recognized hedge fund, before starting up his own successful business trading derivatives. He developed a strong reputation, not only for trading, but also for high potential trading strategies research and a market approach based on the technical-quantitative analysis of price and rate behavior. Information that has been invaluable in strengthening these aspects here at ECR.
