Hedge Fund Hire: Is This the Next Big Thing? 🚀

Ah, the London financial district. A landscape of muted ambition, polite disappointments, and the occasional flash of…well, more ambition. Karatage, a fund whose name somehow evokes both firmness and fragility (a fitting metaphor, wouldn’t you say?), has seen fit to bestow the title ‘Senior Partner and Head of Institutional Strategy’ upon one Shane O’Callaghan.
