GLG Partners has hired Jamil Baz as chief investment strategist focusing on global asset allocation. Baz will also work with Driss Ben-Brahim to develop the firm's global macro platform and thematic funds.

Baz was a portfolio manager at PIMCO and a senior member of the firm, helping to create an asset allocation strategy and developing macro and micro trading models. Before that, he was a managing director in Goldman Sachs’ proprietary trading group. Before Goldman, he was chief investment strategist at Deutsche Bank. At present, he also teaches mathematical finance at Oxford University.

“Jamil's extensive background in developing asset allocation and trading models, and his unique strategic perspective on the markets make him an important addition for GLG,” said GLG co-ceo Manny Roman.
