According to Barry Mendelson, CIMA Managing Partner of CMC, "Our clients employ us to develop their investment management programs. Investment modeling, manager and fund research is at the heart of almost every client relationship today. Increasingly however, clients have asked us for guidance on the economy as well. Not only do they want a framework for discussions with their investment and trust clients but they want the option to interact with an economist to help them gain clearer insights into economic developments. We are honored to have Dr. Chowdhury, in addition to his teaching and research obligations at Marquette, join our team to help educate and guide clients. He brings a wealth of real world experience as well as an important scholarly legacy from his important professional role as a Professor of Economics at Marquette University.

His experience and perspective will add value to our clients in an increasingly integrated global economy."

"The niche CMC fills in the marketplace is unique and I am glad to be on the team. We are positioned to help a lot of financial institutions with their investment programs. My new role will add the global economic perspective to our services; that perspective which is the driving force for capital market performance across the globe.
