Talson Capital Joins FIS Group for Hedge Fund of Funds Launch
Paragon Discovery Fund, a hedge fund of funds, has been launched by FIS Group, an asset management and investment firm focused on emerging manager strategies to generate alpha, in partnership with Talson Capital Management, LLC, a registered investment advisory firm located in Darien, Connecticut.
FIS
Group CEO & CIO, Tina Byles Williams, commented, "Over the past
five years, we have been approached by several hedge funds proposing
that we form a joint venture entity. While there are several well
respected hedge fund of funds in the industry, what was most appealing
about this opportunity is the caliber of experience and firsthand
knowledge that both Dominic [Napolitano] and Robin [Willoughby] bring to
the table. Dominic has actually managed and traded assets, giving him a
very unique perspective and frankly, a significant edge relative to his
peers. Robin has also successfully managed custom and commingled hedge
fund portfolios for some of the wealthiest families in the U.S."
Talson’s
principals, Napolitano and Willoughby, bring a wealth of experience to
the table. Napolitano has 28 years of experience in the hedge fund
industry, including portfolio management across all asset classes with
Tudor Investment Corporation and Graham Capital Management. He was also
instrumental in building and managing multi-billion dollar portfolios of
hedge funds at Soros Fund Management for eight years.
