A 28-year old Manhattan investment banker has died after an apparent suicide, police sources said.
Kenneth Bellando, who worked at Levy Capital since January, was found
dead on the sidewalk outside his East Side building on March 12, after
allegedly jumping from the sixth-story roof, sources said.
Bellando, a former investment bank analyst at JPMorgan, is the son of
John Bellando, chief operating officer and chief financial officer at
Condé Nast. His brother, John, a top Chief Investment Officer with
JPMorgan, works on risk exposure valuations.
Several John Bellando emails were cited during testimony at the
Senate Finance committee’s inquiry into the bank’s losses during the
infamous London Whale trade fiasco.
Kenneth Bellando — who grew up in Rockville Center, LI and was a
Georgetown graduate — worked as a summer analyst at JPMorgan while in
school. Upon graduation in 2007, he was hired as an investment bank
analyst and worked there for one year before moving on, according to his
LinkedIn page.
The investment banker then went to Paragon Capital Partners, according to his LinkedIn page, until leaving at the end of 2013.
Bellando becomes the eighth suicide of a financial professional this year and the third death in as many weeks.
