\"download\"<\/a>New York (HedgeCo.Net) – Ignacio Sosa, previously Executive Vice President for Global Bond Product Management at PIMCO, will join DoubleLine Capital LP next month as Director of the firm’s newly formed Product Solutions Group.\u00a0DoubleLine and its affiliates managed approximately\u00a0$49 billion\u00a0in assets held in closed- and open-end 1940 Act funds, separate accounts, hedge funds and UCITS as of the\u00a0March 31\u00a0end of the first quarter of 2014.<\/p>\n

“Start-ups of equity boutiques happen all the time, but for decades, fixed income assets have remained largely concentrated among a few investment firms because launches of new bond managers are rare events,” Mr. Sosa said. “DoubleLine has proven the happy exception since its founding a little more than four years ago. Jeffrey and his team have built a growing, nimble, client-focused company, with diversified strategies in fixed income and equities. Their track record of risk-adjusted returns speaks for itself. So joining DoubleLine at this early stage in its development is especially compelling.”<\/p>\n

Sosa has been profiled in Euromoney, Financial Times and Risk magazine. His comments, letters and op-ed columns have been published in The Washington Post, The Wall Street Journal, The\u00a0New York Times, The Financial Times, BusinessWeek, The Huffington Post, Bloomberg News and other publications.\u00a0 He has appeared on CNBC and on the Japanese television network NHK. He has testified twice on U.S.-Cuba\u00a0issues before the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Foreign Relations.<\/p>\n

With more than 30 years of experience in asset management he \u00a0previously worked at\u00a0Newport Beach-headquartered PIMCO. He joined PIMCO as Executive Vice President\/Lead Emerging Markets Product Manager, later becoming the firm’s Executive Vice President for Global Bond Product Management.<\/p>\n

Before PIMCO, \u00a0Sosa served as a Managing Director at Voras Capital Management LP, joining the\u00a0New York-based firm shortly after its founding by\u00a0Zoe Cruz, former co-president of Morgan Stanley and Company. At Voras, he managed 25%-30% of the firm’s global macro fund, focusing on global fixed income, equities and precious metals.<\/p>\n

In\u00a0March 1999, Mr. Sosa co-founded and co-managed OneWorld Investments, LP and its successor firm Globalis Investments, LLC, both investment advisors focused on long\/short macro investing in emerging markets and G-7 sovereign bonds and equities. Macquairie Group of\u00a0Australia\u00a0acquired Globalis in\u00a0September 2008. Mr. Sosa subsequently joined Voras in the fourth quarter of 2009 after expiration of a one-year non-compete clause in his buyout agreement.<\/p>\n

Before OneWorld Investments, Mr. Sosa served at BankBoston Corporation where he founded and managed a 45-person emerging markets investment banking operation with offices in\u00a0Boston,\u00a0London\u00a0and\u00a0Singapore. Previously, he was a Managing Director and co-founder of the emerging markets debt and derivatives trading team at Bankers Trust in\u00a0New York\u00a0and\u00a0Tokyo. He began his career as an Assistant Vice President at Bank Boston, working in\u00a0Boston\u00a0and\u00a0Buenos Aires.<\/p>\n
