Nili Gilbert, Stuart Kaye and Valerie Malter have formed Connecticut-based Matarin Capital Management, HFMWeek reports. The owners have also planned to roll out two hedge funds, along with a long-only offering this year.

The asset manager will launch its long/short equity offering this quarter, while the Market Neutral U.S. Plus Fund and the Global Markets Select Fund will be launched later in 2011. Gilbert previously worked with Invesco, while Kaye was with Aronson Johnson Ortiz and Malter worked at JP Morgan Investment Management.
