Principal
& Portfolio Manager

Zac Rodd is a Principal in Hall Capital’s Portfolio Management practice in New York. His responsibilities include development and implementation of investment strategy, portfolio reporting, and general client services.

Mr. Rodd joined the firm as an Analyst in the San Francisco office in 2007. He was promoted to Associate and transferred to the firm’s New York office in 2012. He was promoted to Senior Relationship Manager in 2014 and to Vice President in 2018. Mr. Rodd started his career as a Sales Operations Analyst at QuinStreet.

What attracted you to HCP?

The opportunity to develop my financial market and portfolio management knowledge in a fun and collegial environment.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

Recreational activities (bowling, billiards, ping pong, shuffleboard, tiddlywinks), sports (pick-up basketball, golf), board games, reading, and chasing my daughters around Central Park.

Little known fact(s) about me:

I had my own radio show in college. It was a combination of music and talk show, which may be surprising since I don’t know a ton about music, and I am definitely not a big talker. Pretty sure my only listeners were close friends and the campus shuttle driver.

Ask me about:

Food: Czech Food: my grandmother made the best svickova (marinated beef sirloin) with knedliky (bread dumplings) and cranberry sauce

Sports: Anything related to NY Sports teams (not soccer)

Books: mostly non-fiction, no favorites, but like a good biography
