According to FORT Management, Balcer has been named as head of the new office and will be joined by two new managing directors, Alan Marantz and Douglas McKeige.
Both Marantz and McKeige will be responsible of for directing business development and assisting in overall firm management.
Prior to joining to FORT Management, Marantz and McKeige worked at a discretionary macro hedge fund in New York, where they jointly directed business development efforts.
Commenting on the expansion, Balcer said: "Kumar and I felt that this was the right time to establish a presence in New York and we could not be happier in having Marantz and McKeige join our new office and help lead our business development initiatives.
