Career

Following the 2007–2008 financial crisis, Gallo became critical of the central bank response to the Eurozone crisis, coining the term "QE infinity" to describe that the quantitative easing response would not be sufficient to restart growth and inflation, and would last for much longer than expected. [5]

Over the following years, he continued to advocate a focus on reforms, shifting away from the one-size-fits-all approach of QE infinity. [6]

In 2016, he joined Algebris as partner and portfolio manager, to launch and run the Macro Credit fund (later renamed as Global Credit Opportunities fund) designed to deal with negative interest rates and the QE infinity environment. [7]

[9] The fund was ranked five stars by Morningstar in 2021. [10] Gallo has been ranked by Citywire since 2020. [11]

In April 2022 Gallo resigned from Algebris Investments, [12] to launch his own firm, Andromeda Capital Management, together with Aditya Aney. [13]

Gallo has been a participant to the ECB's Financial Stability Contact Group (FSCG) since 2015. [14]

Quantitative easing (QE) is a monetary policy action where a central bank purchases predetermined amounts of government bonds or other financial assets in order to stimulate economic activity. Quantitative easing is a novel form of monetary policy that came into wide application after the 2007–2008 financial crisis. It is used to mitigate an economic recession when inflation is very low or negative, making standard monetary policy ineffective. Quantitative tightening (QT) does the opposite, where for monetary policy reasons, a central bank sells off some portion of its holdings of government bonds or other financial assets.
