Reuters – Former Brevan Howard star trader Chris Rokos has hired former Goldman Sachs co-head of Asia Pacific macro trading, Stuart Riley, as he gears up for one of Europe’s most high-profile 2015 hedge fund launches.
Rokos, who made $4 billion for Brevan’s main fund between 2004 and 2012 and was paid $900 million during his time there, and Brevan Howard ended a legal dispute in January this year, clearing the way for him to start his own fund.
