Lazard Veteran to Launch Hedge Fund for EM Bets at Bramshill

Arif Joshi, the former co-head of emerging-market debt at Lazard Asset Management, is joining Bramshill Investments LLC to help launch a hedge fund focused on opportunities across the developing world.

The alternative asset manager is expanding into emerging markets and starting with $150 million for the strategy, said Joshi, who was hired as senior managing director and portfolio manager this month. The team plans to begin fundraising for the Cayman Islands–domiciled total-return hedge fund and launch it after the summer.
