London-based hedge fund, Caliburn Capital Partners, has elected Richard Williams, who works out of the firm’s Singapore office, as equity partner reported FINalternatives this week. Alongside Caliburn partner, Mike Curry, Williams has been heavily involved building out the firm’s Asia research network in addition to managing the Caliburn Greater China Fund since he joined the firm in 2006. Williams’ efforts in the region are reflected in the decision to make him a partner, with Caliburn CEO Jeremy Rowlands (pictured) quoted as saying that Williams had been “a key part” in the firm’s regional expansion in 2010 thanks to the success of the Singapore office, which first opened its doors in 2008. “It is therefore wholly appropriate that he (Richard Williams) has been elected to an equity partnership in our business,” said Rowlands. Founded in 2005, Caliburn is majority owned by its five partners as well as having the financial backing Mizuho International. It currently manages USD759million in assets and has offices in London, Geneva and Singapore.
