Measurisk chief executive moves to K2
Before founding Measurisk, which provides market and operational risk analysis for the investment community, Biggers directed the development of Bankers Trust’s risk-adjusted return on capital risk analysis service.
“A lot of the innovation and talent I've seen in the asset management community is coming from the fund of funds industry, and that explains why there is increased institutional investor interest in this area,” said Biggers. “I plan to couple K2’s strong performance returns with risk transparency that will include value-at-risk, stress testing and scenario analysis.”
K2’s long/short funds and low volatility hedge funds have collectively delivered seven-, five- and three-year returns of 19.6%, 17% and 19.2%, respectively.
Biggers added that he is likely to use third-party vendors, which could include firms such as New York-based RiskMetrics or Measurisk, to help manage risk on K2 funds.
