Heidrick & Struggles

According to a survey, amid over 400 portfolio managers and more than 100 hedge fund firms, by executive recruiter Heidrick & Struggles International Inc, last year US hedge funds lost staff to endowments, sovereign wealth funds and the SEC. This trend seems to continue during 2010.

Veteran hedge fund and markets professionals are also in demand at the SEC, where a promise of increasing government enforcement and the creation of a new Division of Risk, Strategy, and Financial Innovation are leading to new hires.
