GoldmanSachs JBWere (GSJBW) has recruited a Sydney-based business development manager from a boutique fundraising agent for US hedge funds to an internally-run alternatives vehicle.
Nathan Pensabene will leave Catalyst Capital Management, a domestic third party marketing business for hedge funds including multi-strategy vehicle Halcyon Asset Management, long/short hedge fund-of-fund manager ABS and Chilton Investment Company, before the end of March. Soon afterwards Pensabene will undertake an investor relations role with a vehicle in GSJBW’s global trading strategies suite of funds, which operate in global markets and target offshore institutional investors, a spokeswoman for the manager said.
Future Fund chief investment officer Ben Samild said that FY24 has been a great year for alpha creation, thanks to strong returns in equities and, unusually, across multiple hedge fund strategies all at the same time. He reflected the past few years have been “a difficult time to be an asset owner and to generate positive returns for risk assets” but the Future Fund is tracking well of its long-term mandate.
