City Financial has made four senior operations hires with Amy Wong, William Dumas, Justin Brodersen and Simon Taylor all having joined the firm with effect from 1 December 2016.

All four will report directly to Lou Thorne, global chief operating officer.
 
They all join from Fortress Investment Group where they previously worked with Thorne in the liquid markets business.
 
Wong was co-director of operations and treasury, Dumas was co-director of operations, Brodersen was director of middle office, and Taylor was UK operations manager.
 
Wong, Dumas and Broderson will be based in New York, while Taylor will be based in London.
 
Thorne (pictured) says: “As we continue to expand our business across three continents, the time is right to invest in senior operations hires with specialist hedge fund experience. I had the pleasure of working with Amy, William, Justin and Simon at Fortress, and look forward to working with them again at City Financial as we continue to build the operational infrastructure that our clients require and expect.”
 
Andrew Williams, chief executive at City Financial, says: "Asset growth exceeded expectations this year, and we are in a strong position to invest in senior people and teams in order to best support future growth. It is a testament to the firm that Lou has been able to attract his former colleagues to City Financial, and I’m confident that their collective experience will prove invaluable as we build our business and launch new investment strategies.”
