ExodusPoint hires portfolio managers in Dubai |
ExodusPoint, the multistrategy hedge fund, has hired three portfolio managers in Dubai as part of its expansion in the Middle Eastern business hub. Valery Ivanov, formerly of Point72 Asset Management, joins as an equity long/short manager focused on the consumer sector. Omar Soomro, previously with Garda Capital Partners and Moore Capital Management, will be a portfolio manager trading emerging markets. Rob Kitchen, who was most recently at Amia Capital, will trade macro strategy. Dubai has become a magnet for hedge funds in recent years, with firms like Millennium Management and BlueCrest expanding their operations in the city.
