Thoughts on Athanor HF

Athanor Capital was founded by a DE Shaw alum and seems to follow a global macro strategy. Offices in Atlanta and New York. It’s a pretty new fund, so it hasn’t gotten much noise but curious if anyone has had any interactions with them?

Thoughts? Intellectual firepower? Culture? Recruitment process? Comp?

 

I'm pretty familiar with them and think them quite smart - founder with good track record, sharp investment team, great returns since small-scale launch a few years ago which has allowed them to grow AUM rapidly. My understanding is that the team functions as something in between a single manager run by the founder and individual teams who receive capital allocation / take risk. There is certainly a macro orientation, but they employ an equities group and bulk of the investment ream are all relatively technically proficient. And fwiw, pretty sure the Atlanta office is all BO/MO technology with the investment team all based in NY.

PM me if you want more color.
