361 Capital, an asset management firm specialising in liquid alternative mutual funds, has appointed Clifford Stanton as director of portfolio solutions and product management.
Stanton joins 361 Capital from Envestnet where he was the chief research officer, co-chairing Envestnet’s investment committee and managing the firm’s research department and asset allocation product development.
As a member of the management team, Stanton will lead 361 Capital’s portfolio solutions group, providing asset allocation guidance, fund analysis and portfolio research to the firm’s investment advisor clients and prospects. He will also lead the firm’s alternative investments education, market research and product development efforts.
“We created this position to better serve investment advisors and their goal of using more alternative investments in their portfolios,” says Tom Florence, CEO of 361 Capital. “Cliff has many years of experience working directly with investment advisors. He brings proven experience designing and building asset allocation models using all types of alternative investments. Being a former CIO and director of research for two major investment firms, we were fortunate to attract him and are excited to have him on the team.”
Before Envestnet Stanton served as chief investment officer at Prima Capital, which was acquired by Envestnet in 2012. Prior to Prima, Stanton was the director of research for Innovest Portfolio Solutions, and before that he was a senior investment analyst at INVESCO Private Capital.
