Bob McDermott, CEO, Americas
Causeway Securities is today pleased to announce the appointment of Bob McDermott as CEO of Causeway Securities, LLC. McDermott will also serve as a member of the Global Executive Committee of Causeway Securities Limited. McDermott will lead Causeway Securities' strategy and growth across the Americas, with a mandate to build the firm into a broader investment and distribution platform.
A key area of focus will be the continued expansion of Causeway Securities' structured products business, including deeper penetration of the institutional RIA market and entry into the broker-dealer channel. McDermott will also lead the development of Causeway Securities' asset management capabilities in the U.S.
McDermott brings more than 30 years of financial services experience spanning distribution, product strategy, asset management, structured investments, and strategic partnerships. Most recently, McDermott served as Managing Director, Head of Product & Strategic Partnerships at InspereX, where he was a member of the firm’s senior leadership team and helped drive product innovation, distribution expansion, and strategic partnerships. Earlier in his 11-year tenure, he led the firm’s structured products wholesaling team. Prior to InspereX, McDermott was an early partner at Orinda Asset Management, held senior leadership roles across distribution and institutional client relationships at a global ETF strategist, and spent 16 years at Putnam Investments.
Conor O'Donnell, Founder and Group CEO of Causeway Securities said "Bob brings a rare combination of distribution leadership, product expertise, strategic perspective, and experience building businesses. The Americas represent a significant growth opportunity for Causeway Securities, and Bob's experience will be instrumental as we expand our distribution reach, broaden our investment capabilities, attract exceptional talent, and continue building the business both organically and strategically."
Jon Little, Group Board Chair of Causeway Securities said: "Bob's appointment is an important step in the continued development of Causeway Securities' global platform. His experience across distribution, asset management, product development, and strategic partnerships is particularly well aligned with the opportunity we see in the U.S. market. We believe there is significant potential to build a differentiated investment and distribution business in the Americas."
Bob McDermott said: "Causeway Securities has built a strong foundation, differentiated capabilities, and an entrepreneurial culture that creates significant opportunity for growth. Our focus will be on expanding structured product distribution, building complementary asset management capabilities, recruiting outstanding talent, and pursuing both organic and strategic opportunities that can accelerate the development of the platform. I am excited to work with Conor and the broader Causeway Securities team to build upon what has already been created."
