International Standard Asset Management (ISAM), the alternative investment manager has appointed Rupert Douglas as Head of European Sales. Douglas will be responsible for developing and promoting the sales and marketing of ISAM Systematic to European institutions, distributors and consultants.
Most recently, Douglas worked for RAB Capital, where he focused solely on European sales. Prior to this he worked for Maple Leaf Capital, a single strategy volatility fund.
