Commodities Honcho Bails Credit Suisse

George Zivic is the latest member of Jim Vos’ former hedge fund of funds team to depart Credit Suisse.

George Zivic is the latest member of Jim Vos’ former hedge fund of funds team to depart Credit Suisse. He is said to be mulling his options, including his own commodity fund of funds that would launch early next year. Zivic and a Credit Suisse spokeswoman declined to comment. Zivic was tasked with building a commodities portfolio, but the project never got off the ground as Vos and Boris Arabadjiev, the second-in-charge who headed the group’s risk management efforts, resigned this spring (AIN, 4/10). Before joining the Swiss bank in New York, Zivic worked at Takara Capital Management, a commodities hedge fund in Houston that was set up by Mark Tawney and Bill Windle, former heads of Swiss Re‘s New York-based weather desk.
