US Hedge Fund Silent Over Plans To Open London Office - Report
The firm has reportedly hired a team of three for its new London base and plans to add more staff.
US hedge fund Hudson Bay
Capital has declined to comment on reports that the firm is
opening an office in the UK to expand its European trading
book.
According to reports, Hudson Bay, which runs $2.8 billion in
assets across equity, credit and other areas, has hired a team of
three for its new London base and plans to add more staff.
Hudson Bay has hired Evan Pearce. He joins as a portfolio manager
and previously held roles at Pictet Asset Management and Edoma
Partners, Reuters said.
Paul Godfrey, formerly of Pine River Capital, joins as a
portfolio manager. Paul Murrell, who worked at Pinyon Asset
Management and Sandell Asset Management, has been appointed as a
senior analyst.
It seems that Britain’s departure from the European Union is not
putting off US-based firms. According to Preqin data, more than
211 US-based hedge funds already have British bases.
