About Us

Energy Sell-Side veteran Timm Schneider founded the Schneider Capital Group LLC in the fall of 2022. The Firm offers unique perspectives, insights and differentiated thought for a variety of stakeholders focused on the dynamic and exciting Energy space. Our services are designed to meet the diverse needs of 1) Institutional Asset Managers; 2) Private Equity Firms; 3) Infrastructure Funds; 4) Commodity Trading Houses; 5) Sovereign Wealth Funds; and 6) Companies (both Public & Private).

Our mission is to help our customers navigate complexities along the Energy value chain while identifying opportunities to unlock and capture value. Our purpose is defined by our passion for the Energy industry and the vital role the Energy ecosystem plays in the continued advancement of society.

The decision to create The Schneider Capital Group LLC was an easy one, in hindsight. Years of under-investment by many of Wall Street’s largest Institutions in their respective Energy franchises, especially those focused on ’traditional’ energy, have led to an inevitable ‘brain drain.’ At the same time, evolving global macro drivers continue to highlight the importance the Energy sector plays in our personal and professional lives. The ripples can be felt across a variety of industries: Market participants that invest in Energy companies & commodities, Energy companies themselves, and those reliant on the goods and services the Energy industry produces. We believe there is a pressing need for value-added analysis, unbiased viewpoints, and actionable content.

The Schneider Capital Group LLC is agile, resourceful, and unique. Our goal is to break down the ‘silos’ present in ‘old-fashioned’ investment research models and processes. We focus on a variety of Energy & Utility sub-sectors as well as different parts of the Capital Structure. We are cognizant of the diverging investment styles and time horizons that comprise the capital markets ecosystem. Potential conflicts of interest and sluggish hierarchies often present at large investment banks don’t exist here.

Our motto ‘Excellence in Energy’ is fueled by an inherent curiosity for the Energy industry and the vital role it plays in today’s capital markets – and beyond.

We are focused on the following sectors:

  • Integrateds/ Majors & Refiners
  • Exploration & Production
  • Oilfield Services & Equipment
  • Midstream & Energy Infrastructure
  • Alternative Energy & Renewables
  • Utilities & IPPs
  • Chemicals
  • ESG

We look forward to working with you.

Prior to founding The Schneider Capital Group LLC in the fall of 2022, Timm Schneider was a Managing Director and most recently held the role of Head of Energy & Utilities Equity Research for the Americas at Citi. Under his leadership, the Team provided coverage of the Midstream & Natural Gas, Exploration & Production, Oilfield Services, Electric & Gas Utilities, and Alternative & Renewable Energy sectors. At Citi, Timm was a Registered Representative with his Series 7, 63, 86, 87 & 24 designations.

Timm was a top-ranked analyst in the Institutional Investor survey. In 2019, his first year back at Citi, he led the Team to a Top 3 finish in the Master Limited Partnership category as well as Runner-up in Natural Gas. In 2018 he was Runner-up in Natural Gas and MLPs, 2017 No. 2 in Natural Gas and Runner-up in MLPs, 2016 No. 3 in Natural Gas and Runner-up in MLPs, and 2015 Runner-up in Natural Gas.​

Prior to re-joining Citi in September 2018, Timm spent five years at leading boutique Evercore ISI, covering Natural Gas & Midstream equities. He also spent time at Deutsche Bank and Lehman Brothers. Timm began his Energy career with global Oilfield Services provider Halliburton in the Middle East.

Timm frequently teamed up with fundamental sector colleagues and commodity research for deep-dive thematic content focused on: U.S. Natural Gas; Global Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) Markets; Natural Gas Liquids (NGLs); Renewable Natural Gas (RNG); Crude Oil; Hydrogen; Carbon Capture, Utilization & Storage (CCUS); Solar; Wind; Gas/Power generation dynamics; and Petrochemical markets.​

Timm has a wide-ranging network of both Energy industry and Wall Street contacts. He has been widely recognized as a thought leader in the space. Under his leadership at Citi, the Team was early in identifying strategic initiatives that led to tremendous value creation, such as the ‘Privatization of Midstream’ thesis in late 2018 as well as identifying a new cash flow paradigm for the sector in late 2019 (Midstream C.R.E.A.M.). Further, Timm & his Team pierced traditional equity research ‘silos’ via nuanced analysis around the (often overlooked) symbiotic relationship between Upstream; Midstream & Downstream markets, coining this dynamic ‘The Midstream Shakeweight.

Throughout his career, Timm was an active participant in capital formation activities (including SPACs; traditional IPOs; and Spin-Cos) via close collaboration with various internal & external partners. He has extensive vetting & sales/ client teach-in experience, having served various Firms’ Investment Committees in due diligence and valuation for >~$5bn of both primary & follow-on equity offerings.

Timm consistently ranked as top contributor by Citi’s global sales force and key institutional investor clients. He was a leading vote contributor at platform Hedge Funds and large Long-Only asset managers. He was well known for opportunistically utilizing tactical calls and relative pair trade ideas to drive investor client mindshare.

In his role as Head of Energy for the Americas at Citi, Timm was a ‘Culture Champion’ and member of the ‘Citi Changemakers’ initiative to enhance diversity and inclusion as well as foster an environment focused on ethical principles and compliance.

Timm earned his Bachelor of Science in Finance with a double minor in Economics & German language from Miami University Of Ohio.

Timm spent his early childhood years in Europe and is a fluent German speaker. He is an avid golfer and automotive enthusiast.
