A string of high-ranking officers at Notenstein La Roche departed the company in the past 12 months. One of them has now joined Germany’s Aquila Capital.
Aquila Capital appointed Fabian Dori as member of the quantitative investment strategy team based in Zurich. He will speed up work at the systematic trading group, according to a statement released today.
Dori will be reunited with Urs Schubiger, who joined the team at the beginning of the year and is in charge of systematic trading. Dori and Schubiger spent five years working together at 1741 Asset Management, a unit of Bank Wegelin, which folded during the dispute with the U.S. tax authorities.
The two bankers at 1741 Asset Management were in charge of the development and implementation of managed futures and cash-equity strategies.
Expansion at Aquila Capital
At Notenstein La Roche, Dori was promoted to the executive committee and worked as the company’s chief investment officer. He left the private bank in May.
Aquila Capital also in May hired Joern Flachmann, another former 1741 Asset Management banker. With the appointment of Dori, the team of Aquila in Zurich will comprise eleven members of staff. Aquila Capital is an asset manager specialized in alternative investments.
