Rajat Bhattacharya

Senior Investment Strategist

Rajat has over 25 years’ experience in the financial services industry. He brings to the Wealth Management Group’s Global Investment Committee a diversity of experience derived from over a decade as an international financial correspondent at Bloomberg and Reuters, followed by 15 years with the Bank’s Global Research unit and Wealth Management Chief Investment Office. He has lived and worked as a financial writer and analyst in five international financial centres – Mumbai, Bangkok, Tokyo, London and Singapore.

Rajat has a Masters degree in finance from the London Business School. He is fluent in English, Hindi and his native Bengali.

His other goal – and perennial challenge – is to make investment views accessible to a wider non-professional audience.
