Alphabet Management set to make new hires
Alphabet Management, a New York-based relative value volatility hedge fund manager, is set to bolster its investment strategies with the addition of new hires in the coming months, HFMWeek has learned.
Nelson Saiers, CIO, said the firm plans to hire credit and equity derivatives traders in order to facilitate its expansion in those strategies.
“These new hires will broaden our geographical reach and improve our trading of these assets,” he said.
The planned expansion follows the recent hiring of a dedicated FX trader in December and an ex-Susquehanna equity derivatives trader, based in San Francisco, who was brought in last April to focus on the Asia region.
According to an investor, in the last year Alphabet Management has almost tripled its assets to $640m as of 1 January 2012, from $230m in January 2011.
