Management & Global Research Team
Jim Osman
CEO
Jim’s role is to oversee and direct the analysis and subsequent high-conviction decisions, making sure that the analysis is geared bottom-up to the actual situation from a pure investment view. Jim has been in the securities and fund management industry since the early 1990’s. Prior to founding The Spinoff Report, Jim was a portfolio manager of a London based special situations fund focusing exclusively on spinoffs. Before that, a portfolio manager at a highly regarded specialized equities and derivatives hedge fund based in Chicago, and an equities and derivatives trader at one of the largest French banks. His added value is that the analysis is geared towards ‘real situations’ from private equity level, that hedge funds and money managers have to evaluate and deal with. Not just a buy or sell-side analyst’s view of them. Jim studied Investment Management at The London Business School.
