In that position, Mr. Lorin will be responsible for developing new business, working with service provider partners, supporting existing clients and helping to identify new managers for the Coquest team.

Lorin brings with him deep experience in managed futures and the brokerage arena, having spent much of his career with Crédit Agricole Calyon Financial, Newedge USA and Société Générale Newedge, in various lead positions, including Acting Head of Alternative Investment Solutions at Newedge USA.

He began his career on the Chicago Mercantile Exchange floor as an account executive for Drexel Burnham Lambert.
