MKP Capital Management has hired David Burke, formerly a partner and managing director with Arrowhawk Capital Partners, for a marketing role. The firm, which is preparing to launch a new structured credit fund, is also looking to hire a senior investor relations professional. A spokesman at MKP declined to comment.
Arrowhawk, the $500 million multistrategy hedge fund shop started by former FrontPoint Partners co-founder Michael Litt in 2008, has tapped Tim Carroll, formerly a managing director at risk measurement service Measurisk to replace Burke as head of business development.
Index and analytics provider MSCI acquired Measurisk in July and began merging it with RiskMetrics Group—another risk measurement service—with which MSCI had inked a deal in March last year. Since then, many Measurerisk executives have left the firm, with several jumping ship to managed accounts platform operator HedgeMark International. A spokesman from MSCI declined to comment.
