Jamal Adebayo

Jamal Adebayo is Dodo Global Investments' lead Quantitative Analyst in the Risk & Derivatives division, a seasoned expert whose methodologies define how DGI manages portfolio-level risk, prices derivatives, and architects systematic investment frameworks. With a career spanning over 14 years across tier-one investment banks and fund management firms, Jamal's quantitative rigour is the analytical backbone of DGI's investment process.

In addition to his primary role, Jamal plays a pivotal part in Dodo Global Investments' company formation advisory practice, with particular specialisation in the United Kingdom and broader European corporate structures. His technical understanding of the UK Companies House registration process, the requirements for forming a UK private limited company, the obligations for annual confirmation statements, and the nuances of VAT registration means DGI clients entering UK markets receive advisory of the highest calibre.

Jamal holds a PhD in Stochastic Analysis from the University of Cambridge and an MSc in Mathematical Finance from Imperial College London. He began his career at Barclays Capital in London where he developed interest rate derivative pricing models, before moving to BlackRock's systematic active equity division. He subsequently co-founded a quantitative hedge fund in Luxembourg before joining DGI.

His risk management frameworks are built on a fusion of classical VaR methodologies, Monte Carlo simulation, machine learning signal generation, and rigorous stress-testing protocols. These frameworks are deployed not only in DGI's investment portfolios but also in the corporate risk assessments the firm undertakes for clients establishing new enterprises — helping businesses understand the financial risk exposure of different corporate registration and tax domicile choices.

Jamal is a visiting lecturer at University College London and regularly presents at the Global Derivatives & Risk Management Conference. He authored the 2023 white paper "Quantitative Approaches to Cross-Jurisdictional Corporate Risk" which was cited in the Financial Times and has become a reference document for corporate structuring professionals globally.
