New York (HedgeCo.net) – Former Lehman Director Samuel Belk has joined investment consultant Cambridge Associates as Director of Diversifying Investments. Cambridge Associate has over 900 global investors representing more than $2.5 trillion in aggregate assets.
Belk was most recently a Managing Director at the Dartmouth College Investment Office, where he was responsible for hedge fund and distressed portfolios and private equity. Prior to joining Dartmouth in 2008, he was a Managing Director at Lehman Brothers Japan, where he served on the Asia risk management committee and headed a pan-Asia group focused on hedge funds, sovereign wealth funds and Asian fixed income, foreign exchange and futures products.
At Cambridge Associates, Belk will be evaluating investment opportunities and overseeing a team of research consultants and analysts covering investment managers in diversifying asset classes and strategies. They include high-yield credit, bank debt, GTAA, active currency, lower-beta hedge funds, global macro and tail risk hedging.
“We have held a longstanding view that hedge funds need to be analyzed in the context of the role that they play in our clients’ total portfolios.” David Shukis, Cambridge Associates’ Director of Investment Manager Research, said, “By focusing on low-beta strategies, Q’s group will support our efforts to build portfolios that are truly diversified.
