Global multi-strategy investment firm Palliser Capital has appointed former Elliott Management Equity Partner and Senior Portfolio Manager, Steve Kasoff, as Chairman of Palliser Capital US, with effect from 1 March 2024.
According to a press statement, Kasoff will play “a central role in the strategic evaluation of Palliser’s global portfolio alongside CIO James Smith, while also bolstering Palliser’s expansion into a broader set of markets and strategies globally”.
Kasoff, who will have a particular focus on identifying superior risk/return investments within the US market, spent 17 years at Elliott Management, where he was responsible for the firm’s global investments in structured credit, real estate, ABS, CDOs, and the firm’s macro strategies. He was also a member of the management, risk and valuation committees until his retirement from the firm in 2020.
Prior to joining Elliott in 2003, Kasoff spent a number of years as a Director at Deutsche Bank’s CDO group. He was also formerly part of Merrill Lynch’s credit derivatives group, as well as Lehman Brothers’ real estate and mortgage group.
