In a move designed to materially expand its intellectual property securitization activities, the Pullman Group said it hired graduates of the Wharton School of Business at the University of Pennsylvania to serve as analysts.

David Pullman, managing director of the company, said the addition of Joshua Sherman, Martin Torres, Jennifer Tosti and Adam Herzog will help expedite the research and development and the execution of the Group's pursuit of more intellectual property transactions.

Pullman said he expects the new analysts to enhance the company's efforts to expand into other areas of entertainment such as television reisduals, film libraries and author royalties.

In addition to these new staff members, Pullman said he is looking to hire a senior associate and a vice president for new asset classes.
