I have been greatly impressed by their dedication to developing the best technology and putting it in the hands of world-class journalists, lawyers and analysts to produce cutting edge content for the fixed income world.”
Steven Hunter, Co-Founder and CEO of 9fin, commented: “We’re super excited to have Max on board.

There’s no-one better to take our coverage to the next level.”
