In an ongoing effort to expand its presence in the municipal industry and diversify its inventory, Summit, N.J.-based W.H. Mell Associates Inc. has added Philip Sievering to its trading team.
Sievering has 10 years experience trading escrowed-to-maturity bonds, previously working at Drizos Investments in Morristown, N.J.
He will report to Ryan Posner, head of Mell's trading and research department, which is now five traders strong, according to president S. Bradley Mell.
Last November, the firm opened its first institutional sales office in Seattle, and is also in the process of getting a retail sales and trading division off the ground.
