Tradex Global
Advisors Hires Marketing Specialist
Greenwich, CT – June 20, 2012 – Tradex Global Advisors,
the Greenwich based fund of hedge funds manager, has retained fundraising
specialist Hudson, Riley Asset Counsel as it seeks to expand its investor
base. The Hudson, Riley team will work alongside Tradex’s internal
marketing group in actively coordinating new investors in the US and abroad.
Hudson, Riley is led by Joseph Nodarse and Leonard
Chaikind. The two owners and their respective companies possess over 100
years of combined experience working with institutional investors such as plan
sponsors, foundations, endowments and pension consultants. Mr. Nodarse,
based in Miami and Greenwich, is the former Director of Global Institutional
Marketing & Sales at London & Capital Investment Advisors. He
also was previously the Head of Marketing and Pension Fund Consulting at Dahab
Associates. Mr. Chaikind, based in Houston, is the former head of the
Shell Oil Company’s $12 billion pension program, where he worked for 34
years. He served as a Founder and Vice Chairman of the Committee on
Investment of Employee Benefit Assets (CIEBA), the largest corporate pension
fund membership group in the world, and is also the Chairman & CEO of
Institutional Investors Consulting Company. Collectively, Mr. Nodarse and
Mr. Chaikind have risen over $1 billion.
Mr. Nodarse stated, “Many of our clients, especially mid to
large pension funds and plan sponsors, have made it perfectly clear that the
traditional model of asset allocation is no longer what they are looking for
due to market volatility and the inability of this model to meet assumption
goals. Tradex offers what we feel is the best alternative for these plans
who have generally seen flat or negative returns over the last decade from a
mixture of equities and bonds. Tradex specializes in allocating to alpha-centric
niche managers who outperform their larger peers, while maintaining a
commitment to superior transparency and liquidity terms.”
In addition to its Original Segregated Portfolio, Tradex is
looking to grow assets in two other Fund of Hedge Funds which were designed
around a demand for niche managers who provide top quality liquidity and
transparency without sacrificing performance. The Liquid 50 Portfolio
invests in managers who use highly liquid instruments and strategies, therefore
offering an extremely low probability of gating, suspending or side pocketing
any assets. The managers and strategies in this Fund are generally
non-directional, trading oriented and flexible in nature. The other
vehicle is called The Liquid Real Estate Mortgage Portfolio, which will invest
in relatively liquid mortgage backed securities. The Tradex principals
have successfully utilized mortgage backed security strategies in their Funds
since 2004.
Tradex Global has more than ten years experience sourcing
niche hedge fund managers, and allocates the majority of its investments in
performance driven funds managing between $250 - $750 million. The Tradex
Group was founded in 1998 and managed over $3 billion at its peak.
