Joe Seet, former chief operating officer of Beaumont Capital, has set up Sigma Partnership, a new consultancy and recruitment practice for start-up and existing hedge funds. Seet left Beaumont, the hedge fund headed by Michael Dobson and Raphael Kanza, after Schroder Investment Management bought the firm.

Seet has teamed up with Carol Brown and Brenda Hanna to offer services ranging from setting up new companies or partnerships to completing prime broker and fund administrator relationships.
