Ankit Khetan, a nine-year veteran of Singapore-based Crescent Asset Management, also left his post as Partner and PM to join Southern Ridges Capital.
Millennium, another multi-strat major, also appointed Abhay Nainan as Associate Portfolio Manager, who joined after a two-year stint as an Analyst at Schonfeld, where he covered macro and fixed income. Meanwhile, Terry Ang left Millennium and joined North Rock Capital Management as a PM in equity long/short.
