Neil Weller & Eurasia Group

Former Citadel portfolio manager Neil Weller has quietly resurfaced at Eurasia Group, stepping into a senior role that sits right at the intersection of politics and markets. He has joined Ian Bremmer’s political risk shop in London as director of fixed income strategy, according to people familiar with the move.

Weller brings a macro toolkit that fits neatly with what Eurasia sells to its global clients. He has spent years working on big picture themes, with a focus on interest rates and foreign exchange, and on building portfolios that trade those views in size. At Citadel, which he joined in 2023, he was part of the hedge fund’s push to lean into macro opportunities, staying for roughly a year before making the jump.

At Eurasia Group, his job will be to translate shifting political landscapes into tradeable ideas for bond and currency markets. That means helping investors connect elections, central bank paths, and geopolitical flare ups with moves in yields and FX. It is a sign that the firm is leaning even harder into the idea that you cannot separate risk in the bond market from risk in the world, and that clients want someone who speaks both languages fluently.
