PivotalPath, an independent hedge fund research and technology platform, has appointed Abigail Corcoran as its Director of Strategic Solutions, responsible for the firm’s product and business development efforts as well as managing client relationships.
PivotalPath has invested significantly in research and technology in recent years to develop PivotalBase, a cloud-based hedge fund research portal which has been gaining traction in the institutional investor community. Currently, PivotalBase provides hedge fund investors with access to information and proprietary analysis on over 650 funds and plans to increase that number in the near term. The firm is off to a strong start this year, growing assets over 30 per cent since year end 2015 and recently crossing the USD6 billion mark in assets under advisory.
“We are extremely pleased to appoint Abigail as Director of Strategic Solutions to deliver on our mission to provide independent, informative, and valuable hedge fund research to our expanding institutional client base,” says Viktor Ula, Managing Principal of PivotalPath. “As allocators, we created PivotalBase to enable us to make better and more efficient investment decisions. Abigail provides the experience and expertise to ensure our peers will benefit from this tool as well,” added Jonathan Caplis, Managing Principal.
Corcoran has over a decade of experience in alternative asset allocation, strategy and corporate communications. Prior to PivotalPath, Ms. Corcoran spent time at several hedge fund allocators, developing a deep knowledge of hedge fund strategies and the behavioural trends and preferences of their investors.
“I am excited to join PivotalPath as Director of Strategic Solutions,” says Corcoran. “There is significant need in the hedge fund allocator community for accessible and actionable manager intelligence. I look forward to helping our clients better invest their time and their capital.”
