Wolfe Research has appointed Mike Zaremski as Director and Head of the Insurance Group, where he will cover both Life and Non-Life Insurance sectors.
Zaremski is a a well known Property and Casualty Analyst, and joins from Credit Suisse.
At Credit Suisse, he apprenticed under Life Insurance analyst Tom Gallagher from 2007 until 2010, before becoming a Senior Equity Research Analyst covering the P&C sector.
In 2014, Zaremski left Credit Suisse for three years to work on the buyside as a Senior Analyst at Balyasny Asset Management on a Financials Sector team where he focused on Life and P&C insurance stocks as well as mortgage insurance companies.
He returned to Credit Suisse in early 2018 where he worked as a senior research analyst until joining Wolfe.
Wolfe Research’s Managing Partner Ed Wolfe commented: “Mike is one of the few analysts on the Street with a proven understanding of the drivers and key investment levers of both the Life and P&C sectors. We believe this is invaluable for clients as the two sectors increasingly consolidate.
“Mike will be a key addition to our already strong Financials team that includes Darrin Peller, Steven Chubak, Bill Carcache and Chris Senyek.
“He is an awesome guy with a great reputation for decency and will fit in seamlessly with Wolfe’s culture of integrity, collaboration, mentorship and hard work.”
Zaremski added: “I am looking forward to moving to a firm focused on research without any distractions.
“With the firm’s proven platform of best-in-class analysts and research salespeople combined with their strong commitment to grow my team and resources, I stand ready to take my franchise to the next level.
“I’m excited to bring my buy and sell-side Insurance franchise experience to the firm and to provide the most differentiated research available for our clients.”
