Bramshill Investments Recruits Lazard Veterans to Boost EM Debt Unit

The expansion follows a period of rapid growth for the firm’s specialized strategy, which launched earlier this year under the leadership of Arif Joshi. Milonopoulos brings fifteen years of experience from Lazard Asset Management, where he previously served as head of fixed-income trading. His expertise encompasses capital structure analysis across Asia, Central and Eastern Europe, and the Middle East, complemented by an early career background in financial engineering at Bloomberg.

Valderrama joins with sixteen years of tenure at Lazard, where he specialized in sovereign credit and hard-currency debt strategies. His resume includes a stint as a sovereign analyst at Moody’s Investors Service, providing him with a technical foundation in risk assessment for Latin American and African markets. Bramshill, which manages over $8 billion in total assets, aims to leverage these hires to deepen its analytical reach in complex emerging debt instruments.
