Hedge fund 36 South has appointed Maya Abou Zeid as head of sales for the UK and EMEA.
Abou Zeid (pictured) was a previously a senior associate and investment strategist in the client solutions group at Barclays Global Investors.
She has particular experience as a product specialist in multi strategy fund of hedge funds and smart beta strategies covering fixed income, global macro and equities.
Abou Zeid previously worked for HSBC Private Bank (UK), Byblos Bank Europe and the Central Bank of Lebanon.
36 South’s growth since opening a London office has also necessitated a move to larger premises. The company’s offices are now located at Panton House, 25 Haymarket, London SW1Y 4EN.
The company relocated their headquarters to London from New Zealand just four months ago in order to capitalise on growing investor interest in 36 South’s range of funds.
Jerry Haworth, 36 South’s co-founder and director, says: ‘We are delighted to welcome Maya. Her addition to the team, coupled with the office move, is a logical next step for us as we grow. We are pleased with the progress we have made since moving to London, and we are seeing increasing investor interest in our range of market leading funds.’
