Jerry del Missier

Founding Partner, Chief Investment Officer

Jerry del Missier is the Founding Partner and Chief Investment Officer of Copper Street Capital, established in July 2015. Jerry oversees all investment activities across the firm’s liquid hedge fund strategy.

He brings over three decades of deep experience in banks, with a career spanning senior leadership roles in capital markets, treasury, and bank management. His rise through Barclays, from senior trading roles to Co-Chief Executive Officer of Barclays Corporate & Investment Bank, and ultimately Chief Operating Officer of Barclays Bank Plc, afforded him unparalleled insight into the inner workings of a global bank, including its balance sheet, risk architecture, and regulatory interface.

During his tenure at Barclays (1997–2012), Jerry played a pivotal role in the acquisition and integration of Lehman Brothers, and led key initiatives in the post-crisis restructuring, recapitalisation, and refinancing of the bank. His leadership extended across operational reengineering and the navigation of evolving financial regulations. This experience has shaped Copper Street’s investment approach in taking advantage of recapitalizations and identifying mispricing’s/discrepancies across the entire capital structure of European banks.

Prior to Barclays, Jerry was a Senior Managing Director of Derivative Products at Bankers Trust (1988–1997) and began his career at Scotiabank in Toronto (1987–1988). He holds an MBA and a BSc in Chemical Engineering from Queen’s University.
