Ravi Cheruvu has joined the alternative investment team at PRS Group as Risk Manager.

Prior to joining PRS, Cheruvu was the Risk Manager at Paramount Biocapital, a biotech long/short equity hedge fund. Before Paramount, he was the Director of Research at Altgate Capital, where he was responsible for conducting due diligence on hedge funds.

Previously, Cheruvu also worked in the Firmwide Risk Department at Goldman Sachs, building risk models and developing asset allocation applications for various trading desks across the firm.

Cheruvu will head PRS Group's risk management effort for its fund of hedge funds area as well as its convertible bond arbitrage program. In addition to developing customised risk management tools, he will lead initiatives to enhance client reporting for institutions and high net worth individuals to offer even better insight into their investments in PRS funds.

Ravi's contributions will only add to the strength of the investment management team, both on the converts book and in the fund of funds business. It will also allow our senior fund of funds portfolio managers, Brian Pearl and Jerry Levin, the ability to focus exclusively on portfolio construction and manager searches."
