Anchorage Capital Group is set to launch a quantitative structured credit fund this month, according to a Goldman Sachs' cap intro document. The new fund, Anchorage Quantitative Credit Fund, is believed to be the firm's fourth. The New York hedge fund was launched three years ago by Goldman alums Kevin Ulrich and Tony Davis. 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 new fund. Tell joins from Barclays Capital, where he spent two years as head of credit options and exotics for North America. He previously held the same job at Citigroup. Tawfik was a credit risk manager at Silverback Asset Management and previously director and head of equity derivatives at Swiss Re.
