OVS Capital, the European equity focused event driven hedge fund, has appointed Nick McEwen as a Partner. In his role at OVS McEwen will oversee all sales and marketing and will support Sam Morland (Chief Investment Officer) and Andrea Morrall (Chief Operating Officer) in the managing of the business.
McEwen previously worked at Revere Capital Advisors where he was a Managing Director and established the London office with responsibility for the European sales and marketing effort.
Nick McEwen’s hiring is the second of the year at OVS following Adam Lister’s addition to the investment team. Mr. Lister was previously a Vice President in Citigroup’s UK Investment Banking team and is a CFA charterholder.
Sam Morland, OVS’ founder and CIO, says: “We are pleased to make these additions to the team to capitalise on OVS’ early business momentum and to further enhance our investment, business and operational infrastructure. The opportunity for European event driven investing remains compelling.”
OVS Capital was launched in October 2010 by Sam Morland who formerly spent 10 years at HBK, the multi-billion dollar Dallas based hedge fund. From 2005 – 2008 Mr. Morland was CEO of the London office and in January 2006 was appointed HBK’s first non-American partner. The OVS investment team includes Adam Tyrrell who previously managed the event driven and relative value books for Henderson’s European and Global Multi-Strategy hedge funds, as well as the enhanced index funds. The investment team also comprises Simon Broch, head trader and a former HBK employee.
The business and operations team includes Andrea Morrall, Chief Operating Officer who beforehand worked at HBK and Adam Davies, an Operations Manager who previously worked at Marble Bar.
