Reuters – Lasair Capital, a hedge fund industry newcomer that boasts General Electric Co as its blue-chip backer, said on Tuesday that it has hired a senior investment officer to help put $180 million to work.
Carrie McCabe, who founded Lasair as a "next generation" hedge fund firm earlier this year, told investors that Jennifer Coffey will now help select hedge funds as well as infrastructure and timber assets for clients.
"Jennifer will report directly to me and I will continue to oversee all investment decisions," McCabe, who cemented her reputation in the hedge fund industry while running Blackstone Alternative Asset Management and FRM Americas, told clients.
