Brad McCarthy, Director, B.Bus Finance and Banking UTS
Brad McCarthy brings a unique blend of agricultural and financial expertise to the world of bloodstock investing, making him exceptionally well prepared to lead in this dynamic industry.
Growing up on a family-run cattle farm in North West NSW, Australia, Brad developed a deep understanding of breeding both cattle and horses. This agricultural foundation helped lay the groundwork for his future interest in bloodstock.
In later years, Brad gained extensive experience in global financial markets. He worked on the FX Spot and FX Options desks within Commonwealth Bank Australia's highly regarded Fixed Income Currency and Commodities (FICC) division in Sydney. Following this, he served as an Executive at Macquarie Bank's Funds Management Group, where he was part of the trading team for the FX Alpha Fund and Currency Overlay Hedging Model (Option Replication Program).
Brad’s interest and pull back to bloodstock came full circle when offered a role at the Hong Kong Jockey Club (HKJC) as Senior Trader within their thriving wagering business. The natural exposure to broader HKJC racing participants, in the racing hub of Hong Kong, allowed Brad to gain valuable experience and build key international bloodstock relationships.
Returning to Australia, Brad further honed his bloodstock expertise with a leading equine genetics company, attending all major sales and learning from prominent racing and breeding participants. He also leveraged his wagering sector experience with major local Wagering Service Providers, integrating form study and sectional data analysis to enhance bloodstock selection.
