Prior to joining 2100 Xenon, Mumford was founder and managing partner of Mumford Capital Partners, a financial services consulting and advisory firm founded in 2004. His client base included global investment banks, futures commission merchants, proprietary trading groups, hedge funds and private equity firms.

“Bruce has extensive experience working with a wide range of institutional investors, and has a strong background in alternative investments,” says Feuerstein. “He is especially well positioned to help institutional investors understand how our managed futures strategies can enhance their total portfolio.”
“I am delighted to join Jay and his team at 2100 Xenon,” adds Mumford. “I have had client relationships with a large number of hedge funds and commodity trading advisers over the past ten years, and I have been impressed with 2100 Xenon’s strategy and performance. The business is perfectly positioned for substantial growth.”
