Stockholm (HedgeNordic) – Swedish fund boutique Tidan Capital has announced the appointment of Dennis Karlsson as Senior Portfolio Manager within its volatility and options arbitrage team. This appointment reunites Karlsson with Magnus Linder, Tidan Capital’s Head of Volatility and Options Arbitrage, marking the continuation of a 15-year professional partnership. Under Linder’s stewardship, Tidan Capital operates a market-neutral volatility and options arbitrage strategy called NOVA.

Karlsson joins Tidan Capital after spending 17 years at Swedbank Markets in various senior roles, where he developed tailored derivative strategies for institutional clients. He also gained extensive experience in portfolio and risk management during his tenure at Nordea.
