Agamas Capital Management, Lp
Was the first non-founder brought on to establish and build the business partnerships, infrastructure and processes. The firm traded a wide spectrum of securities including equities, corporates, corporate derivatives (CDS, CDX, LCDS), bank debt, fixed income, mortgages (CMO, CDO, CMBS, ABS), mortgage derivatives (ABS CDS, ABX, ABI), and repos. Assets under management grew to US$860 million in 2008 and the firm was shut down at the end of 2009.Designed and developed a comprehensive front-to-back office platform to run the business as nothing in the market could handle the variety of assets traded. The Greeks, as I called the system, covered Trade Capture, Messaging (data and files in and out to counterparties, prime brokers and administrator), Pricing, Risk, Middle Office, Back Office, Accounting and Reconciliation, all in a single custom platform. It supported over 65 asset classes, multiple funds, auto-allocations and had a complete margin module that enabled us to manage and predict cash and margin calls.
