Stockholm (HedgeNordic) – Quantitative digital asset investment firm Hilbert Capital has hired Thierry Pudet as a senior quant strategist. He joins Hilbert Group’s asset management arm following senior risk manager roles at Finisterre Capital, Citadel, and Goldman Sachs.

Thierry Pudet brings more than three decades of risk management and investing experience to Hilbert Capital’s team and will focus on the ongoing development of the asset manager’s systematic strategies. He most recently served as Chief Risk Officer at emerging markets-focused macro and fixed-income hedge fund Finisterre Capital. He also worked as Chief Risk Officer for Citadel in Europe and European Head of Risk for Structured Products at Goldman Sachs. Pudet was also Co-Head of Fixed Income Research at Solomon Brothers.

“Thierry provides a rare and valuable combination of skillsets which are ideal for our investment strategies,” comments Hilbert Group’s CEO, Niclas Sandström (pictured left alongside Richard Murray, the CEO of Hilbert Capital). “Our focus is to continue to research, develop and implement quantitative trading strategies and constantly improve execution,” he elaborates. “Thierry’s knowledge of markets, risk management, quantitative modelling, and advanced programming, will add to our already significant quant-trading capabilities.” 

Thierry Pudet is the most recent quant hire to Hilbert’s investment team following the recent hiring of Nick Yannakoyorgos as a senior quantitative programmer. Hilbert Group continues to invest in its quant team and proprietary trading technology despite stressful and volatile crypto market dynamics. Pudet’s appointment takes effect on February 1.
