Simon Goodman appointed as
Chief Investment Officer, and Benjamin
Nudel joins as Head of Investment Research
LONDON, Aug. 31,
2022 /PRNewswire/ -- EQONEX Limited, (NASDAQ:
EQOS) ("EQONEX" or the "Company"), a digital assets financial
services company, is investing in its team with two high-calibre
appointments to its Asset Management business with responsibility
for the flagship Bletchley Park Multi-Strategy Fund ("the
Fund").
As recently announced, EQONEX is
directing significant resources and investment into building its
Asset Management business, as part of its drive to deliver a
leading digital asset investment platform.
Simon Goodman will join as the Chief
Investment Officer, while Benjamin
Nudel has been appointed as the Head of Investment
Research. Both Simon and Benjamin will build on and enhance
the Fund's proven strategies and approach.
In his capacity as Chief Investment Officer, Simon Goodman will also assume a seat on the
Fund Manager's Investment Committee. His expertise will support
members in making intelligent and insightful investment decisions
that will ensure the continuation of the Fund's strong
performance.
Simon brings more than two decades of financial markets and
investment experience to the role. Most recently, he
co-founded PSG Digital, a cryptocurrency-focused investment firm
with operations in London and
New York, and Peregrine, a
next-generation blockchain digital asset allocator.
Prior to that, Simon spent three years with Duet Asset
Management as a Partner and Joint Chief Operating Officer. During
his time at Duet, his expertise across infrastructure, asset
management products, and technology enabled the firm to grow
significantly. Notably, Simon spent more than 15 years
earlier in his career building out Marshall
Wace's presence in Asia.
Benjamin Nudel is a highly regarded digital finance
research professional. His digital asset experience dates
back to early 2016 from running a miner to currently operating as a
validator on a handful of networks. He has a broad skill set
across asset, macro, and quantitative analysis. Prior to
joining the digital asset industry, Benjamin spent nine years in
investment banking, holding roles with
HSBC, Société Générale, and BNP Paribas. Benjamin's
deep crypto technical knowledge base, coupled with his strong
financial acumen will be invaluable as EQONEX looks to further
support its clients in navigating the specific nuances of the
digital asset space.
Frank Copplestone, EQONEX Head of Asset Management said, "With
strong foundations laid, we are entering the next phase of our
business plan and we are excited to welcome new members to our high
calibre team who will help us scale the business."
"Having recently confirmed EQONEX's intention to invest in
building our Asset Management operations, Simon and Benjamin are
joining at a very timely moment. I am confident that they both
bring the right blend of experience and expertise to help drive the
Fund's continued growth and success."
EQONEX Asset Management encompasses key business lines including
Investment Products, and The Fund. The Investment Products
business recently received prospectus approval from Germany's Federal Financial Supervisory
Authority (BaFin) which resulted in the launch of the EQONEX
Bitcoin Exchange-Traded Note (ETN) on the Deutsche Börse XETRA
Exchange in July 2022. EQONEX will
also be launching a Structured Products business in the near future
that will offer professional investors and institutions exposure to
bespoke crypto investments.
Simon said, "I'm delighted to be joining EQONEX as it commits to
delivering success in its Asset Management business and I look
forward to working with the team to deliver strong investment
performance and growth for the fund."
