D0w Jones – RiverCrest Capital, which was set up in January as a joint venture between Beckwith’s private investment vehicle Pacific Investments and Rod Barker, a former partner and director of business development at International Standard Asset Management, has hired two new teams, according to two people familiar with the situation.
The first team is made up of Alastair MacLeod and Peter Simon, who were formerly responsible for the equities book on the Lansdowne Macro Fund, the sources said. They left Lansdowne in March 2009, when the firm decided to shut the fund.
