Fulcrum Asset Management, a provider of diversified macro investment products, has appointed Christopher Carroll as head of hedge fund business development. Carroll joins Fulcrum's expanding US team, which is run by Paul Seaton, head of North America.

London-based Fulcrum has had a presence in the US for a decade, but Carroll is the first professional enlisted to focus on presenting the firm's higher volatility hedge fund product to North American institutions.
 
The investment team at Fulcrum is led by Suhail Shaikh, chief investment officer, who joined Fulcrum in 2005 from Goldman Sachs. 
 
Carroll joins Fulcrum from Caxton Associates, where he spent nearly a decade and led the North American asset-raising effort.
