Sam Duncan is a Senior Research Analyst at HFS, based in Cambridge UK. He graduated from Bournemouth University with a degree in economics, throughout which he took a particular interest in macroeconomics, mainly how the evolution of technology accelerated globalization. Throughout his education he also spent some time studying law, accounting and investment management.

Since joining HFS, Sam has developed his understanding of blockchain and continues to explore the latest applications of the technology across a range of industries. He has applied his economics background to keep on top of the latest trends on the banking and financial services industry, and has taken a keen interest in insurance. On top of this he contributes to the HFS Market Index, a quarterly report which breaks down the performance and key events of the leading service providers throughout the previous quarter.

When he’s not keeping on top of the latest market developments, Sam enjoys playing for his local rugby club and can often be found sampling the produce of local breweries.
