For nearly a year, Stephen Roussin has served as Campbell & Company, Inc.’s President. Focused on systematic alternative investments, the Baltimore-based hedge fund oversees about $3 billion for individual and institutional investors around the globe.
Hedge funds have saved tremendous amounts in costs in recent years by conducting due diligence online. Whereas teams previously had to travel around the country and the world to evaluate potential investments, today they can interact through web conferences and online video chats. These technological tools also allow managers to engage with prospective clients from afar.
Some hedge fund professionals also rely on web-based tools to conduct conference calls and investor updates. In this way, they can share performance updates through verbal communication as opposed to spending significant time on long e-mails.
To avoid limiting virtual communication to only tech-savvy individuals, developers have streamlined the technology so that users of a variety of skill levels can take part. The tools facilitate event reminders and enable participants to record the content for later use.
President of Campbell & Company, Inc., Stephen Roussin previously served as a Managing Director at UBS Wealth Management Americas in New York. He holds securities licenses for Series 6, 7, 24, and 63.
For 40 years, Campbell & Company has leveraged quantitative models on behalf of investors. The hedge fund features a diverse team of engineers, mathematicians, scientists, and others who regularly develop and test new strategies. The team strives to discover structural inefficiencies that can be revised to achieve gains. In addition, the firm relies on advanced information technology to facilitate the goals of gauging and managing risk and determining investment opportunities.
Based in Baltimore, the company’s team oversees more than $3 billion for a variety of clients. Just recently, the firm received a Managed Futures Hedge Fund nomination from Institutional Investor magazine. In June, the organization will present the honor at the 10th Annual Hedge Fund Industry Awards in New York.
