AllianceBernstein’s (AB) multi-manager hedge fund platform AB Arya Partners has hired a long/short equity manager from Fuchs Capital Partners, HFMWeek has learned.
Tom Coombes joins Arya in Singapore after spending more than three years with pan-Asia l/s equity fund Fuchs.
According to his LinkedIn profile, Coombes is a portfolio manager on a l/s hedge fund at Arya, having joined in January.
Prior to Fuchs, he was a pan-Asian equities analyst at Henderson between April 2013 and September 2015 and prior to that worked as an analyst at Arbuthnot Banking Group.
AllianceBernstein confirmed Coombes hire but declined to comment further.
AB founded Arya in December 2016, following the collapse of a deal to take on the management of part of now-shuttered Visium Asset Management.
Arya is led by Christopher Bricker, who was formerly head of AB’s alternatives business.
