Conifer, the provider of fund administration, middle office, trading and prime brokerage services, has appointed Howard Eisen to the Conifer Securities sales team.
Eisen has more than 15 years of experience in prime brokerage and capital introductions and has held senior positions at both Goldman Sachs and UBS. He will be based in New York and report to Conifer President and CEO Jack McDonald.
Howard has a proven track record of supporting hedge funds and helping them achieve investment success, McDonald says. His experience and breadth of industry relationships will be an important part of our continued success as we expand to other segments of the hedge fund market.
Conifer recently launched a cloud-based asset servicing solution, Conifer iCon, which was featured on GCTV.
Conifers offerings are increasingly important to the hedge fund industry, Eisen says. Alternative investment firms of nearly every size have to consider innovative solutions that enhance their risk and attribution reporting at a lower cost. Conifers cloud-based and middle-office services help funds navigate the challenges of ongoing change in reporting requirements and operational models.
Prior to joining Conifer, Eisen was the co-founder and managing director of FletcherBennett Group, a capital-raising and consulting firm that works closely with the hedge fund community. Previously, he was a managing director at UBS Prime Services and was a managing director in the Spear, Leeds & Kellogg unit of Goldman Sachs. He also served as regional director of market development for the American Stock Exchange.
