Stockholm (HedgeNordic) – After departing from his role as Head of Fixed Income at Nykredit Asset Management six months ago, Henrik Jørgensen will be joining Danish fixed-income boutique HP Fonds on August 1. With co-founder and CEO Henrik Fournais leading the helm, HP Fonds operates a range of long-only and absolute return hedge fund vehicles, with a focus on Danish government and mortgage bonds.

“On August 1st, I will begin my role as portfolio manager at HP Fonds, which has many years of experience in investing in Danish government and mortgage bonds,” Jørgensen (pictured left) announces on LinkedIn, six months after revealing his departure from Nykredit Asset Management, where he worked for 23 years. “I look forward to becoming part of a company and a team where the focus on Danish bonds is at the center, and where close relationships with customers and short decision-making paths are an integral part of the company’s culture,” he adds. “I look forward to working together and applying my previous experiences in my new surroundings.”
