Kestrel Investment Partners, the UK-based investment manager, has named Dan McCausland as chief operating officer within its investment management team.

McCausland joins from Aspect Capital, where he was head of client services and marketing. In this role, he was responsible for new funds, including managed accounts and structured products, as well as the establishment of Hong Kong and Swiss subsidiaries.

In April, the firm launched the Kestrel Global Portfolio, a global multi-asset fund which uses multiple instruments, such as bonds, exchange-traded funds, direct equity holdings and commodities, to provide asset exposure.
