Frederick W. Searby IV, a prominent former Wall Street securities analyst and hedge fund manager, died on March 2, 2020 in Palm Beach Florida. He was 52 years old.

After graduating from Phillips Academy Andover, he attended Dartmouth College, receiving his degree cum laude in 1990. He remained a lifelong learner and completed additional degrees: a Master of Science in Engineering from Columbia University and a Master of Science in Risk Management from New York University Stern School of Business.

Mr. Searby, a Chartered Financial Analyst, applied his knowledge to a more than twenty-year career on the "sell side" in the financial services industry. He served as a Director and Chief Strategist for Latin American Equities with Deutsche Bank, an Executive Director at JP Morgan, and a Vice-President for Latin-American Equity Research at Chase H&Q. Institutional Investor repeatedly ranked him as one of the top analysts for Latin American equities.

He was a devoted husband to his wife Carin, and two children Camille and Frederick. Living in Florida, he re-found his passion for tennis , a sport he played competitively as a junior. He also loved to paddle board and surf with his friends in Palm Beach, and on trips to the big waves of the Pacific.
