Investment strategies firm Alpha Quant co-founders Massimo Santicchia and Katherine Gallagher have joined Procyon Partners as senior vice presidents.
Santicchia has been named head of US equities, while Gallagher has joined the firm as a senior portfolio manager.
Alpha Quant did not respond to questions of how their management structure would change after the moves.
On the appointments, Santicchia said: “Our strong track record across various equity styles reflects our disciplined and systematic investment process developed over more than 20 years of research. These strategies are now available to both Procyon’s advisors and their clients and on several external platforms. I look forward to developing innovative equity strategies that drive performance while managing risk in meaningful ways.”
Investment advisor Procyon, part of the Dynasty Financial Partners Network, holds more than US$8 billion in assets under management and specialises in institutional retirement consulting and private wealth management.
Prior to Alpha Quant, Santicchia’s nearly 30-year career included leading S&P Investment Advisory Services’ investment strategy programmes and associate roles at Credit Suisse First Boston and Goldman Sachs.
Gallagher also spent more than a decade at S&P Investment Advisory Service, latterly as a senior portfolio officer.
