Folker Hellmeyer was chief analyst at Bremer Landesbank for almost 16 years. He is one of Germany's most distinguished economists and chief analysts and his accurate predictions have made him famous beyond the banking industry. After completing his banking apprenticeship and the banking academy, Folker Hellmeyer (*1961) worked as an assistant and customer trader in foreign exchange trading at Deutsche Bank AG in Hamburg from 1984 to 1987. In 1988 the bank sent him to London as a cash trader. On his return a year later, he initiated the establishment of a JPY trading desk. After 5 years as an over-the-counter broker in the interbank foreign exchange market at Bierbaum & Co. GmbH & Co. OHG, he moved to Landesbank Hessen-Thüringen GZ, where he was Senior Dealer and Chief Analyst. From 2002 until the end of 2017, Folker Hellmeyer held the technical management position in the "Sales Foreign Exchange and Money Market Trading" division at Bremer Landesbank.

Folker Hellmeyer can often be seen on screen as a commentator on events on the international financial markets, including regularly on ARD, n-tv, Bloomberg and NDR. As a media-experienced stock market commentator, the recognised financial expert knows how to present even complex facts in a clear and concise manner - not always comfortable and not always adapted, but therefore appreciated and much in demand.
