Milwaukee-based Robert W. Baird & Co. has added two equity research teams and launched coverage of energy master limited partnerships, continuing the expansion of its energy sector coverage within its capital markets platform.
The company’s new research professionals include Ethan Bellamy, director and senior research analyst; Hsulin Peng, vice president and senior research analyst; Kathleen Morris, research analyst; and John Ragozzino, senior research associate.
Morris and Ragozzino are members of Bellamy’s team, and both are based in Baird’s Denver office. Peng, who is based in Baird’s Stamford, Conn. office, will initiate coverage of the exploration and production sector in early 2011. William Harrison, a research associate who has worked in Baird’s Equity Research department for the past five years, will join Peng’s research team.
“We are very excited to welcome Ethan, Hsulin, Kate and John to Baird as we continue to build our Energy expertise,” said Robert J. Venable, director of research. “We expect to continue the firm’s investment and expansion in this area by adding more talent in the coming months to better serve our clients.”
