Vassalou joins Perella Weinberg Partners from MIO Partners, a subsidiary of McKinsey & Company, where as a portfolio manager she utilized a similar global macro investment strategy, and as head of asset allocation, provided counsel on allocation for liquid assets within MIO’s portfolio.
Previously, she was a global macro portfolio manager at SAC Capital Advisors, and she also served as head of quantitative strategies at Soros Fund Management. She started her career as a faculty at Columbia Business School for more than a decade.
Terry Meguid, a founding partner and head of the firm’s asset management business, said: "We are very pleased to welcome Maria to the firm and to launch this new strategy, which allows us to offer our clients a new high-quality investment solution. The attractive liquidity characteristics and historically lower correlations to public markets make this increasingly appealing to institutional investors."
Maria Vassalou said: "We hope to provide value to our investors with a strategy that is motivated by fundamental macro-economic relationships and robust economic analysis and that employs a rigorous risk management framework."
