Isle of Man-based fund of hedge funds provider Nedgroup Investments has appointed Kevin Burrows as a senior analyst in its investment management team, contributing to the selection, monitoring and portfolio construction of the Nedgroup fund range.

He was previously president of Bahamas-based asset management firm Binnacle Investment Group, overseeing the growth of the firm's global absolute return multistrategy funds from USD25m to more than USD150m in assets under management as well as USD75m in individual global equity and fixed income portfolios under discretionary management.
