Boston, October 15, 2018 -- Acadian Asset Management LLC, a leader in active global quantitative investing, with $98 billion assets under management as of September 30, 2018, today announced the hiring of Clifton Hill as Global Macro Portfolio Manager for the firm’s Multi-Asset Class Strategies platform (MACS). In this role, Mr. Hill will focus on portfolio positioning from a global macro perspective and the development of unique macro factors that drive markets.
“With almost 15 years of hands-on experience, Clifton’s analytical approach and cross-asset expertise brings a distinctive macro perspective to deepen Acadian’s multi-asset team and investment strategy,” said Ilya Figelman, Director of Multi-Asset Class Strategies and Senior Vice President at Acadian. “We are confident his insight will further enhance the firm’s commitment to a rigorous and systematic investment process within this asset class and help us better serve the needs of our clients.”
Launched earlier this year, MACS leverages Acadian’s expertise in systematic investing and risk assessment to provide clients with alternative and uncorrelated sources of return by investing across five major asset classes: Equities, Bonds, FX, Commodities, and Volatility. As client demand for outcome-oriented strategies continues to rise, MACS offers a diversified asset allocation approach and extends the firm’s expertise in applying a multi-factor systematic approach.
