NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwire - August 4, 2009) - Combinatorics Capital LLC, the New York-based global macro hedge fund manager, today announced the appointment of Robert W. Jenkins as CEO and Managing Partner.

Since 1998, Mr. Jenkins has headed F&C Asset Management plc, one of the oldest global money managers.

He then moved to the buy side with Credit Suisse Asset Management (CSAM) -- first as CIO and Head of CSAM's money management arm in Japan, and later as COO of that group's investment activities in the UK, Central and Eastern Europe.

Since 2007, Mr Jenkins has served as Chairman of the Investment Management Association, UK -- the principal trade body representing the asset management industry. He is a member of the UK Panel on Takeovers and Mergers and he co-Chairs, together with the Chancellor of the Exchequer, a task force on the future of the asset management industry in Great Britain. The task force's report is due out later this year.

Mr. Jenkins is an Executive Fellow at the London Business School where he lectures on asset management. He is currently residing in London. He will transition to New York in 2010.
