A partner at CQS, one of Europe's biggest credit hedge fund managers, has left and is set to strike out on his own after the equities fund he had been working on at Sir Michael Hintze's $13 billion firm was wound down this year.
David Morant, a former portfolio manager at SAC Capital who also worked for Soros Funds, according to his LinkedIn profile and the Financial Services Register, joined CQS in May 2012, the same year that the firm expanded its equities team.
