Opalesque Industry Update - Prologue Capital Management, an alternative investment adviser that manages a discretionary macro and fixed income relative value strategy, today announced that James (Jim) McCormick has joined the firm as Global Head of Strategy and Research.

McCormick, 47, will oversee research to help formulate investment strategy and will be based in the firm's London office, reporting into Founding Partners, David Lofthouse and Graham Walsh. He replaces Tomas Jelf.

He joins Prologue Capital with more than 20 years of experience, most recently as Head of Asset Allocation Research for Barclays in London. In this capacity, he was the managing editor of the widely circulated Equity Gilt Study and the Global Macro Daily.
