HedgeCo.net – Towson, MD, April 3, 2007 — Campbell & Company announced today the appointment of Terri Becks to the position of President & Chief Executive Officer, succeeding Bruce Cleland, who will become Vice Chairman.  Keith Campbell, founder and Chairman made the announcement.

 Ã¢â‚¬Å“Under Bruce’s leadership, the firm has grown to become a leader in the alternative investment industry,” said Mr. Campbell.  “Bruce implemented our vision of Campbell as a research & technology organization not reliant on a “star system” but rather on a team-based approach to systematic model development.  It has been my pleasure to watch Terri develop as a business leader over the last 16 years, and I am confident that in the years ahead she will lead the company to even greater success.”
Bruce Cleland, who has been with Campbell & Company since 1993, having served as President since 1994, and Chief Executive Officer since 1997, will become Vice Chairman of the firm.  Mr. Cleland will act in an advisory capacity to the Executive Committee while undergoing treatment for cancer, which recently resurfaced. 
“Keith Campbell and I have spent the last 10 years building Campbell & Company’s multi-generational infrastructure,” said Mr. Cleland.  “We have a depth of talent that extends across our 10-member Executive Committee and our staff of 140.  We have watched this vision unfold and become a platform for future success.  I have every confidence that under Terri’s business leadership and Kevin Heerdt’s research leadership, Campbell’s success will continue.”
