SemperMacro spin-off breaks up ex-Goldman team

A former Goldman Sachs proprietary trading team has been broken up after failing to perform at Fulcrum Asset Management, a UK hedge fund manager co-founded by ex-BBC chairman Gavyn Davies.


Davies, who in 2004 co-founded Fulcrum Asset Management with Andrew Stevens and Christian Siva-Jothy, all formerly of Goldman Sachs, has split out its SemperMacro fund, which has suffered heavy redemptions after what a client described as "very disappointing performance".

Semper Macro Capital, the name of the spin-off, will now be run by Siva-Jothy. He has taken with him only Hassim Dhoda, Stephen Hull and Stefan Pollman, according to the Financial Services Authority's register. They were all former Goldman Sachs prop traders.

The SemperMacro team had been nine-strong at its height at Fulcrum Asset Management.

Other partners of Fulcrum Asset Management have left the firm, including Akis Karayiannis who left at the end of August, according to Companies House. Partners Tim Fletcher, Patrick Hall, David Kaplan and Gianluca Squassi left Fulcrum Asset Management earlier this year.

SemperMacro recorded an investment loss of 15.7% last year, according to investors in hedge funds. An investor who redeemed from the fund said: “The size of the loss was a big surprise to all of us.”

Hedge fund industry sources said a combination of client redemptions and investment losses had lowered the fund’s assets under management from $1.4bn (€1bn) to $400m at the start of the year. The remaining investors have not disclosed the fund's performance and asset figures since then.

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at this forum. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For several years , I earn money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and my first investment was 500 dollars only.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my web site to get additional info.
