Commodities asset manager CoreCommodity Management has appointed Lawrence Danter as Managing Director, a newly-created position which includes responsibility for marketing the firm’s absolute return offerings.
CoreCommodity’s Founders Absolute Return Program, which is approaching its one-year anniversary, seeks to provide alpha through a diverse portfolio designed to be uncorrelated to traditional equity, fixed income and commodity markets. The strategy employs directional commodity exposure, inter- and intra-commodity relative value, and invests across natural resource equities.
“Larry’s stellar background and reputation further strengthens CoreCommodity as the most experienced commodities investment team in the industry,” says Bradford Klein, CoreCommodity Co-Founder. “He will be a tremendous asset to us and our investors as we continue to expand our commodity absolute return strategies.”
Danter brings more than 20 years of financial markets expertise to CoreCommodity. He was most recently a Managing Partner at commodity hedge fund Jamison Capital Partners, overseeing marketing, investor relations, and risk management. At Jamison, Danter played a leading role in growing Jamison’s commodity absolute return business to peak assets under management of more than USD2 billion. Prior to Jamison Capital, he spent more than eight years at Tudor Investment Corporation. He earned a BA in Actuarial Science from Baruch College in 1992.
