"Constance brings enormous value to our team and to our clients, with her broad-based knowledge of the global capital markets and her ability to understand and translate the economic impact of the business, political and regulatory issues that our clients are facing today," Fichera added.
Hunter joins KPMG with a strong and diverse financial services background, including most recently serving as deputy chief investment officer for fixed income at AXA Investment Managers. Prior to joining AXA-IM, Hunter held chief economist roles with Aladdin Capital, and Galtere, a global macro hedge fund.
Hunter also founded Coronat Asset Management, where she served as a managing member and chief investment officer. In that role, she identified macro themes and invested in global equity, credit and FX markets to capitalize on these themes.
