Former Deutsche Bank Trader Works on the Launch of a Hedge Fund
A former Deutsche Bank RMBS trader Troy Dixon, is working on the launch of a hedge fund that will seek to seize the "significant opportunities" in the $13.5 trillion structured products market.
Troy
Dixon, who managed around 70 traders and 100 support people as co-head
of structured products at Deutsche Bank, left the bank in October 2013
after almost eight years there – and 20 years on Wall Street in
structured products. He sat on the America’s executive committee at the
bank so he also understood the "business" side of launching a hedge
fund, according to Ajai Thomas, his new head of investor relations and a
former colleague. This is why he assembled a team of eight people for
his new independent venture, Hollis Park Partners, which offices opened a
couple of months ago. The investment team includes Joe Valentine, an
ex-Navy Seal who is an investor into Academy (formerly known as
Blackwater).
