“The Disruptive Technology, Energy Transition and Healthcare sectors hold compelling opportunities for investors looking to capitalize on innovation,” said Ms. Goldstein. “Our goal is to deliver unique and insightful research that will add value for our clients and further strengthen Clear Street’s position in the market and I’m looking forward to working with Brian and Tim to achieve that.”
