"Risk management has always been a key focus of Altegris' research effort," says Altegris' researcher Magnusen. "Hiring an individual of Mark's caliber further strengthens our efforts in this area."

Dombrowski comes to Altegris from the Merrill Lynch arm of Charlotte, N.C.-based Bank of America -- where, as an investment-banking associate, he conducted due diligence for potential IPOs and M&A opportunities in the technology industry. Before that, he was in hedge-fund operations at San Diego-based Context Capital Management.

Investors have allocated around $2 billion in trading level to alternative investments available through La Jolla, Calif.-based Altegris. -FWR
