Rupert Graham, the former head of options at WorldQuant in Switzerland and ex-head of European Options at Citadel Securities, has just joined Walleye as a systematic volatility portfolio manager, based in Zug, Switzerland.
Graham’s arrival comes after Bloomberg reported that the fund plans to build out computer-driven training in fixed income products under Arnaud de Bevy, who joined from Brevan Howard in January.
Bloomberg reported that Walleye generated returns of 7.2% in the first half of 2024. As well as Graham, the fund hired portfolio managers Jonathan Gordon (merger arb and relative value) from Millennium in London in June, and Brad Lloyd, a quant portfolio manager from Capstone in May.
