Kenneth Brody, co-founder ofTaconic Capital Advisors, announced that he will retire from the New York-based multistrategy hedge fund firm as of January 1. The 70 year-old told investors he wants to spend more time working directly with non-profit organizations he has been supporting “that are concerned with the mental and physical well-being of young people.”

“This is the right time for me to step back and let the great team we have assembled at Taconic, led by Frank, to step up and take over,” he writes, referring to co-founder Frank Brosens.

About a year and a half years ago, Brody told me for a major feature story in亚博赞助欧冠that his firm had a great, unique succession plan, but he declined to elaborate at the time. In the letter, he stresses that he and Brosens planned for this transition “over a considerable period of time.” Brody writes that Taconic has strengthened its investment teams in London and New York over the past few years and also has hired a team and opened an office in Hong Kong. Brosens will run the firm with CIO Chris Delong and will take over Brody’s risk management responsibilities.
