Stenham Hires Risk Management, Research Head

Stenham Asset Management has appointed Pablo Balan as head of risk management and quantitative research within its London office.

Balan, who joined Stenham in the last quarter of 2011, is a member of the investment advisory committee and oversees all aspects of risk across the firm’s funds and portfolios.

Previously, Balan spent eight years at Coutts as global head of portfolio risk and quantitative analysis. Total client assets for which he held responsibility exceeded £20 billion (about $31.6 billion), Stenham said. 

Before that, he worked for Citigroup in London as vice president of the foreign exchange and interest rate derivatives desk, and in the US as vice president, investment counsellor advising Latin American clients.

In other news, the firm launched Stenham Helix, a global macro fund of hedge funds, last month.
