Atlantic House Investments has hired Credit Cuisse’s Valeriu Trufas as a fund manager on its Atlantic House Uncorrelated Strategies strategy, to work alongside Tom Boyle.
Trufas has focused his career in risk management, spending over eight years with Credit Suisse as its director of IB markets stress testing and previously as equity derivatives trader at Citi. In total, he holds over 20 years of experience in the industry, specialising in cross-asset derivative risk modelling and risk management.
Trufas will aid in further developing the firm’s risk management systems as well as co-managing the Uncorrelated Strategies fund alongside Boyle, who has been with the company for the past five years. The fund was launched last May and currently holds $138m [£113.6m] in assets under management.
