The London hedge fund set up by Goldman Sachs’s former co-head of securities, Edward Eisler, has turned to its founder's previous employer for its latest senior hire.

Eisler Capital, which manages $3.3bn, has hired Henry Howell, until recently Goldman’s global head of electronic futures, in a business development role. Howell's LinkedIn profile shows he joined the hedge fund in July. He had spent his entire 16-year career in finance at the US banking giant until his departure.
