The Hedge Fund Association established a Connecticut chapter and named a McGladrey executive as chapter director.
McGladrey partner Sal Shah moved to McGladrey”™s Stamford office this summer, having previously worked in New York City, where HFA is based. Shah is also an HFA director.
“One of the HFA”™s most important missions has been and remains to speak up for the interests of smaller and emerging managers,” Shah stated in a press release. “However, as a part of our expanding industry advocacy efforts, we also work on behalf of larger hedge fund managers, many of whom are based in Connecticut.”
The separate Connecticut Hedge Fund Association is led by Bruce McGuire, vice president of Mesirow Financial Advanced Strategies, which has a New York City office.
