( www.thestreet.com ) Pequot Capital Management, the hedge fund behemoth run by Art Samberg, hired Morgan Stanley senior investment strategist Byron Wien as chief investment strategist, effective Dec. 1.
It’s the second time this year Samberg has tried to poach a top executive from a major Wall Street firm. Last June, Samberg, who is Pequot’s chairman and chief executive, offered John Mack the position of chairman. Mack defected at the end of that month to become Morgan Stanley’s chairman and chief executive.
