QuantX Management has hired two hedge fund veterans to strengthen its core investment and operational team: Alexander Masotti as president and chief operating officer and Robert Parauda as chief investment officer. 

Both Masotti and Parauda join QuantX from institutional asset management firms. 
 
Masotti joins QuantX having performed a variety of leadership roles in operational, legal, compliance, and investor relations at two multi-billion dollar asset management firms.  One was a European based quantitative hedge fund, the other, Copper River Management, was a short-biased equity hedge fund. He was most recently chief operating officer at Park City Capital, an emerging long/short equity hedge fund. 
 
Parauda joins QuantX from Lanx Management, a USD350 million fund of funds, where he was a managing director and portfolio manager responsible for portfolio construction, research, due diligence and risk management.  Prior to Lanx, he was global head of equity at Deutsche Bank's DB Absolute Return Strategies, a fund of funds group with more than USD5 billion in AUM and more than 110 fund allocations.  
 
"With over 2,100 new hedge fund launches in the last ten years, the emerging hedge fund sector is the most dynamic asset management industry today," says Masotti.  "QuantX plans to transform the way investors access this sector through the unique application of real-time risk management tools combined with a diversified portfolio of best-in-breed managers."
