Tyndall has recruited an analyst from DVA Capital, the boutique being wound-up by founder Kerry Series, to its institutional team.
James Nguyen joined Tyndall last week as its first institutional investment specialist. Before working with DVA Capital he was an investment consultant with JANA Investment Advisers. DVA Capital, an Asian long/short equities boutique, is shutting down after Series became the head of Asia-Pacific equities at AMP Capital Investors last month. Justin Cowper, Tyndall’s head of institutional business, said that Nguyen was undertaking client services duties, relating information about the manager’s Australian equities, fixed income and global macro funds to clients. He is the most recent addition to Tyndall’s institutional team, which includes Cowper and business development manager John Hamer.
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.
