Profile
Mr. Pedro M.
Samuel is a Director at Balondolozi Investment Services.
Upon completing his studies he joined Prescient investment Management as a trainee portfolio manager in 2001.
He was eventually tasked with managing their Index Funds and Dividend Yield Portfolio.
In 2004 he joined Metropolitan Asset Managers where he managed and gave structure to their Absolute Return Fund.
While at Metropolitan he grew the Absolute Return Fund by winning external mandates and was selected for the top portfolio management award in 2005.
A move to Johannesburg in 2006 saw him join the JM Busha Investment Group as a portfolio manager and shareholder.
In 2008, Prescient Investment Management established a presence in Johannesburg and approached him to head up that office primarily in a sales role, given his portfolio management experience, while he remained a member of their Investment Committee.
Given his success he was later appointed Director at Prescient shortly before setting up Balondolozi Investment Services.
He completed his Business Science degree with Honours at the University of Cape Town, majoring in Finance and Economics, in 2000.
