During his tenure at PIMCO from 2000 to 2013, he was a Managing Director and Head of Mortgage and Asset-Backed Securities Portfolio Management, a rotating member of the firm\u2019s Investment Committee and co-head of the firm\u2019s Private Equity style funds. Scott spearheaded PIMCO\u2019s research and views on residential real estate starting in 2005, positioning the firm\u2019s accounts for outperformance through the extreme housing and MBS volatility that followed.<\/p>\n<p>Prior to joining PIMCO, Scott was the Co-Head of MBS Trading at Bear Stearns from 1995-1999 and Head of MBS Trading at UBS from 1989-1995. Scott spent 1984 to 1989 as a mortgage and arbitrage trader at Lehman Brothers and Goldman Sachs. \u00a0Though his role was always as a trader, he was voted onto the Institutional Investor All-America Fixed Income Research Team seven times, including first place awards for mortgage strategies and Mortgage Backed Securities.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Simon attended Stanford University where he earned a Master\u2019s Degree in Industrial Engineering and a self-designed Bachelor\u2019s Degree.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/questromworld.bu.edu\/businesseducationjam\/vip\/\">Back to VIP Guests<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<h4>Scott Simon<\/h4>\n<h6>Former Managing Director of PIMCO<\/h6>\n<p><b>Wed 10\/1, 6:30pm &#8211; 7pm EST<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":3996,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[4,7,26],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-business","category-cultivating-innovation-entrepreneurship","category-wednesday-101"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
