Anchorage Capital Group, a hedge fund firm launched three years ago by Goldman Sachs bank debt honchos Kevin Ulrich and Tony Davis, is due to launch a quantitative structured credit fund this month. The fund, Anchorage Quantitative Credit Fund, is believed to be the New York firm's fourth. Calls to Anna Berenfeld, the fund's marketer, were not returned by press time.
Two recent hires, Greg Tell and Maged Tawfik, will manage the fund. Tell joined from Barclays Capital (DW, 5/8), where he spent two years as head of credit options and exotics for North America. Tawfik was a credit risk manager at Silverback Asset Management and previously director and head of equity derivatives at Swiss Re.
