DENVER--(Business Wire)--
Equinox Fund Management, LLC ("Equinox"), a commodity pool operator and sponsor
of The Frontier Fund, announces the appointment of Ajay Dravid, Ph.D. to its
Executive Committee. The Frontier Fund is a public managed futures fund with a
family of products available to retail investors. The Fund carries a low minimum
investment requirement ($1,000 in most states) and features daily liquidity.
Dr. Dravid replaces John R. Zumbrunn, Ph.D., who served on the Executive
Committee from August 2003 through March 20, 2009. Dr. Zumbrunn retired from his
post in order to dedicate himself more fully to his private investment advisory
and consulting practices.
Dr. Dravid has more than 25 years of experience in financial services and
academia. He is an Adjunct Professor of Finance at the Fox School of Business,
Temple University, and has also taught MBA and Executive MBA courses at Columbia
University, NYU, and Villanova University. He is a member of the Advisory Board
of Bridgehampton Capital Management, a hedge fund company.
From 2004 through 2006, Dr. Dravid was President of Saranac Capital Management,
a separate entity spun-out from Citigroup Alternative Investments to manage more
than $3 billion in hedge fund assets. From 1993 to 2004, Dr. Dravid helped to
build and manage the hedge fund businesses and platforms at Salomon Brothers
Asset Management (and its successors, Citigroup Asset Management and Citigroup
Alternative Investments). He was involved in the structuring and marketing of
funds, portfolio management, quantitative analysis, risk management, and client
service. Between 1988 and 1993, he was an Assistant Professor of Finance at the
Wharton School. Prior to 1988, he worked as a Financial Analyst and Management
Accountant for several large manufacturing corporations in India and Dubai.
Dr. Dravid holds an MA in Physics from SUNY at Stony Brook, an MBA from the
University of Rochester, and a PhD in Business from Stanford University.
"We are extremely pleased that Ajay Dravid has joined the Executive Committee,"
stated Robert J. Enck, President and Chief Executive Officer. "We thank John
Zumbrunn for his excellent years of service, and for the invaluable guidance he
has provided to The Frontier Fund in its development as one of the foremost
public managed futures funds. We believe that Dr. Dravid is joining Equinox and
The Frontier Fund at a very promising point, and look forward to his insight and
his sage, professional counsel."
