GLG Partners has taken on Tisbury Capital Management’s Gerard Griffin and Gerald Lucaussy.
The firm is also set to become the investment manager of the Tisbury Liquid Event Master Fund, which will be renamed the GLG Tisbury Event Driven Fund.
The transfer of the Tisbury Liquid Event Master Fund to GLG is subject to certain completion requirements, including regulatory approval.
Tisbury Capital Management has been an established London-based event driven fund manager since 2003, reaching a peak value of £1.79bn in 2007.
Before founding Tisbury, Griffin was Citadel Investment Group managing director while Lucaussy held senior roles at Evans Randall Share Finance and Daiwa Securities before joining Tisbury in 2003.
GLG co-chief executive Emmanuel Roman says: “Tisbury has an enviable seven year track record in event driven investment strategies. Gerard and Gerald’s experience and professionalism will ensure GLG is well placed to capture the exceptional returns and opportunity for growth in this area.”
Griffin says: “We believe that event driven investments, both in equity and credit markets, will provide strong returns in the coming years as businesses continue to restructure their balance sheets and look again at mergers and acquisitions.
“Combining the talent of the team that led Tisbury with the superior infrastructure of GLG will create a strong franchise and is a natural step for Gerald and me.”
