Capital Four announced the hiring of Ami Dogra, Joe Sorensen and Aasir Khan, who will be located in the firm’s newly-established New York office.

Ami Dogra and Aasir Khan will join the US Fundamental Credit Research team responsible for specific US sector coverage. As an assistant portfolio manager and lead analyst, Dogra will also support Jim Wiant, portfolio manager and CEO of Capital Four’s US arm, in the security selection and portfolio management process. Joe Sorensen, meanwhile, will be heading up the operations team in his role as Head of Finance & Operations. Capital Four plans to add four additional hires to the US-based team over the coming period.
