Ediz Karahasanoglu, Head of EMEA Equities Trading at Goldman Sachs, has resigned from the firm and is reportedly heading to a hedge fund, though his next destination remains unconfirmed, according to a report by eFinancial Careers.
Karahasanoglu, who joined Goldman in 2012 and rose through the ranks to become one of its top traders in London, is believed to have stepped down in recent days. Both Goldman Sachs and Karahasanoglu have declined to comment on the move.
Karahasanoglu’s departure continues a trend of senior equities talent exiting investment banks for the hedge fund world. His predecessor, Riccardo Riboldi, joined multi-strategy hedge fund Schonfeld in 2023. While Karahasanoglu’s new firm has not been disclosed, market speculation points to a possible move to LMR Partners, though this has not been confirmed.
