The head of hedge fund sales for UBS Australia, Thomas Anglin, has relocated to New York as part of the creation of a new global sales desk.
According to an internal memo obtained by Deal Journal Australia, Anglin will report to Matt Foulds, UBS’s head of Americas equity distribution. Anglin alongside his New York-based colleague Fred Liljewall will cover hedge funds including Viking, Lone Pine, Blue Ridge, Maverick, Manikay and Tiger Global, according to the memo.

UBS’s global head of equity distribution, Dominic Vail, said: "Tom and Fred will become global Client Captains for these funds and provide a single, global point of advisory contact for them in place of the existing multi-region coverage model."
Anglin, a managing director, joined UBS’s Australian operations in 2009, from New York-based Ospraie Management. David Birrell, who joined the Swiss bank in 2010 from Pelagic Capital Advisors, will replace Anglin in Sydney.
In Australia, the UBS franchise is facing increased competition from the likes of Macquarie Group, Credit Suisse, Goldman Sachs, Moelis & Co., Citigroup, and Bank of America Merrill Lynch.
Vail said the team plans to expand its coverage to include global funds that only take long positions in stocks.
