400 Capital Management (400CM), a structured credit investment manager, has made new additions to its investment and operations team.
"The opportunity set in the credit markets and the growth of our business has enabled us to attract highly experienced investment and operations professionals, and these new additions further our goal of building a differentiated institutional asset manager in the structured credit sector," says Chris Hentemann (pictured), managing partner and chief investment officer of 400 Capital Management.
Hentemann, a 23-year veteran of the securitised credit markets, established 400 Capital Management in October 2008. The firm actively invests in the credit markets and focuses specifically on residential and commercial mortgage and consumer asset-back securities.
The new additions include Chi Lee, who joined as a director for structured credit and CLO strategies.
