Alsheimer previously spent five years at Lehman Brothers in both their interest rate and credit trading areas.
Ticonderoga CEO and co-founder Shawn McLoughlin said they have successfully built out the Ticonderoga equity and equity research platform over the last two years and feel strongly that they can translate the client relationships and value-added approach of their equity business to the Fixed Income market place.
"I am very pleased to welcome Marty and Alan to the firm. They are both highly respected and have been very successful building out and leading businesses within Fixed Income," McLoughlin concluded.
