The Conifer Group has announced the appointment of Howard Eisen to join its Securities sales team as it expands its client base to include alternative asset managers of all stripes. Eisen will be based in New York and comes to the role with more than 15 years of experience in prime brokerage and capital introduction at investment banks such as Goldman Sachs and UBS. Prior to joining Conifer, Eisen was the co-founder and managing director of FletcherBennett Group, a capital raising and consulting firm that works closely with the hedge fund community.
His appointment comes as the fund administrator is experiencing increasing demand, particularly from large hedge fund managers, for its growing suite of services, namely its new cloud-based asset servicing solution, Conifer iCon.
"Alternative investment firms of nearly every size have to consider innovative solutions that enhance their risk and attribution reporting at a lower cost. Conifer's cloud-based and middle-office services help funds navigate the challenges of ongoing change in reporting requirements and operational models," he said.
Jack McDonald, CEO at Conifer and to whom Eisen will report, said, ""Howard has a proven track record of supporting hedge funds and helping them achieve investment success. His experience and breadth of industry relationships will be an important part of our continued success as we expand to other segments of the hedge fund market."
