Gary Kaminsky

Gary Kaminsky built his career as an institutional equity fund manager before transitioning to financial media. He served as Capital Markets Editor at CNBC from 2010 to 2013, providing daily analysis and commentary on equity markets, investment strategy, and market-moving events to CNBC's large audience. His background as an actual portfolio manager — rather than a career journalist or commentator — gave his analysis credibility among institutional investors who valued his practical market perspective. He co-hosted the "Capital Exchange" programme and appeared regularly on other CNBC programmes. After his CNBC tenure he returned to investment management. Kaminsky represents a category of practitioners who bridge the world of active portfolio management and public financial communication — bringing the insider perspective of institutional trading desks to retail investors and general audiences.
