B. G., Opalesque Geneva:

Former Garda and BlackRock portfolio manager Conan Crum has joined Pine River Capital Management L.P., a global relative value alternative asset manager.

In his new role as a portfolio manager, Crum will focus on U.S. and U.K. relative value inflation strategies and work closely with portfolio manager Matthew Abroe, who oversees all of Pine River's inflation strategies. Crum is based in Pine River's Minnetonka office.

"Global investor demand for inflation-linked strategies continues to grow, particularly in the current macroeconomic environment," he said, "and Pine River is well-positioned to capitalise on this persistent appetite with its differentiated offerings."

Prior to joining Pine River, Crum spent nine years as a portfolio manager focused on inflation-relative value trading at Garda Capital Partners - formerly Black River Asset Management. Prior to his time at Garda, Crum served as a portfolio manager in BlackRock's global inflation-linked bond business and worked in its risk and quantitative analysis group. Crum holds a B.A. in Economics from the University of Arizona and a PhD in Economics from the University of Texas at Austin.
