R.W. Pressprich Continues to Build Fixed Income Credit Team

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- R.W. Pressprich & Co., a New York-based institutional broker dealer, announced today the addition of two senior professionals to its team as it continues its expansion.

Robert “Bobby” Cummings has been named Managing Director in Credit Sales. He is a 28-year industry veteran with a strong reputation within Corporate Credit markets. Most recently, he served as Managing Director and Head of U.S. Fixed Income distribution at CIBC World Markets. He was also a Co-Founding Principal of global markets boutique StormHarbour Partners and a Citigroup Managing Director and Global Head of Investment Grade sales, trading and research as well as European Head of all Credit product distribution.

“R.W. Pressprich has a 25-year track record in up and down market environments bringing value to clients. It has a meaningful product offering that is relevant and client centric and I’m looking forward to helping the team drive that business even further in what continues to be a challenging market climate for investors,” said Cummings.

These hires follow our expansion in high yield back in May when Chuck Howard was brought on board as Co-Head of High Yield/Distress trading. At this juncture, the timing is right for us to continue our expansion and we continue to see talented, experienced individuals in both High Grade and High Yield. We expect to further expand our team in the near term,” said Joseph Calvo, President & Chief Operating Officer of R.W. Pressprich & Co.
