Multi-strategy hedge fund major Citadel has continued its hiring spree with the addition of three new money managers to its Ashler Capital long-short equities trading business, according to a report by Bloomberg.
The report cites a spokesman for the $59 billion hedge fund firm as confirming that James Thetford, who previously worked at Point72 Asset Management, and Spencer Schwartz, formerly at Samlyn Capital, joined in June, while Mack Ewing is set to join in October from Sculptor Capital.
Ashler, which is now home to 19 teams of traders, is one of four long-short stocks businesses at Citadel.
