Man Group Plc, the world’s largest publicly traded hedge fund manager, hired John Rohal as its first-ever executive chairman for North America as the London-based firm seeks growth outside the U.K.
Rohal joins on Jan. 1 from Menlo Park, California-based Makena Capital Management LLC, where he oversees the firm’s public equity and so-called tactical hedged equity investments, Man Group said in a statement today.
