Stockholm (HedgeNordic) – Stockholm-based fund boutique Tidan Capital has announced the appointment of Stuart Abel as its new Chief Operating Officer (COO). Abel, a seasoned professional in hedge fund management and operations, previously served as the COO for the Swedish systematic hedge fund manager, IPM Informed Portfolio Management.

With a career spanning almost two decades, Stuart Abel joins Tidan Capital from Brummer & Partners. He oversaw operations for an internal team at Brummer Multi-Strategy running an equity long/short technology strategy.
