Crawford Lake Capital, a long/short equity manager that is part of Satori’s XL Partnership Program, was recently featured in interviews with two members of its executive team. The articles provide insight into Crawford Lake Capital’s thinking on investing and the complexities of operating an investment firm.

The first article, part of accounting firm EisnerAmper’s “Trends Watch” series, features Crawford Lake Capital’s President and Chief Operating Officer, Jeff Schachter, discussing his views on alternative investing. The article includes topics such as the outlook for hedge funds, potential opportunities and challenges ahead, and thoughts on the U.S. economy.

On the topic of hedge funds, Mr. Schachter notes that, “This industry continues to attract the entry of new talent with smart ideas and the skills to implement investment approaches and strategies that will generate alpha. As a result, I expect the hedge fund industry to continue growing, though there will be ongoing pressure to perform in a manner that justifies their fees, and to meet institutional investor expectations.”

The second article features an interview with Crawford Lake Capital’s General Counsel and Chief Compliance Officer, Dov Lando. Published by Titan Regulation & Advisory as part of its “Compliance Officer Spotlight” series, the article delves into Mr. Lando’s background and illustrates some of the complexities involved in hedge fund compliance procedures.

“I regularly spend time building additional compliance tools, whether to address new requirements or just to further enhance the function,” Mr. Lando notes in the article. “My general approach is to try capturing in a written workflow any process that is likely to be repeated, that has multiple elements that would be difficult to recall from memory, and that warrants written documentation. I also believe that time and effort spent in building a strong process up front is well-spent, and will actually save time and hassle in the long run.”

Crawford Lake Capital also recently received publicity regarding its office relocation in Lakewood, New Jersey. The move to larger offices accommodated the firm’s growth in personnel in response to its increased assets under management.
