Origo Capital enhances research capabilities STOCKHOLM, May 9th, 2017 Carl Rydin recruited as Investment Analyst Origo Capital is strengthening its team behind the Long/Short Equity Hedge Fund Origo Quest 1 by hiring another key member of staff. Carl Rydin will join the investment team, which currently consists of Stefan Roos and Staffan Östlin, as a new Investment Analyst. Carl Rydin has vast international experience from both M&A and the hedge fund industry. Most recently, he was an Investment Manager at New York-based Lucerne Capital Management, a Long/Short Equity Investment Firm specializing in fundamental bottom-up stock selection with a focus on Continental European markets. Prior to that, he worked at New York-based Fredericks Michael & Co, executing cross-border buy-side and sell-side M&A transactions across various industries in North America and Europe. “At Origo Capital, most of the investment research and analysis is carried out in-house. One reason for this is simply the lack of external research coverage in the niche in which we operate - listed Nordic Small Caps. We see great potential in further exploring this investment universe and by hiring Carl Rydin, our research capabilities increase. This will hopefully lead to a continued success story for Origo Capital and Origo Quest 1”, says CEO/Managing Partner Stefan Roos. Origo Quest 1 is focusing on listed Small Caps based in the Nordics. Since the fund was launched on January 31, 2013, the average annual net return is +17%. The fund was widely recognized at the start of 2017, with nominations for, amongst others, EuroHedge Awards and HFM Week European Hedge Fund Awards.
