New York (HedgeCo.net) – In a move that turns the table on the hiring status quo, Strathclyde University has reached out into the world of hedge funds to access talent. In announcing that it has just appointed Daniel Broby as a Visiting Professor, it has shown that rocket scientists can go the other way in the war for talent.
Broby, based in London, hopes his appointment will prove invaluable in giving the department’s postgraduate students’ real life insights into the world of both hedge funds and traditional fund management. The visting position is a part time one and Broby continues in his day job as deputy chief executive of British based frontier absolute return manager SilkInvest.
Broby was elected an individual member of the London Stock Exchange in 1990; is a Fellow of Chartered Institute of Securities and Investment; a Fellow of CFA UK and a Visiting fellow at Durham University.
Daniel Broby, who launched Denmark’s first listed and regulated hedge fund said: “I will try to get across that alpha is out there for those that put in the effort, do their research and out think market rivals. For those that don’t, they may as well remain beta investor’s.”
Strathclyde Business School was ranked 1st in the UK for Accounting & Finance by The Sunday Times University Guide 2011.
Daniel Broby began his fund management career in 1985 and has witnessed the transformation of the industry from “pre big bang” to “post credit crisis”. Prior to specialising in alternative and frontier investment strategies, he was awarded the top rating of five morning stars for the performance of the flagship global fund that he ran for eight years whilst in Denmark.
Broby was recognized for his contribution to the industry by the CFA institute who awarded him its Society Leader Award. No doubt, his colleagues at “the Institute” and fellow “Hedgies” will be calling him the “Professor” from now on.
