The Alternative Investment Management Association, the
global hedge fund industry body, has a new chief executive, Jack Inglis, who
joins from Barclays where had been a member of the global executive committee
for prime services.

Inglis replaces Andrew Baker, who as announced in June this
year is stepping down from the role, having held the CEO slot since the start
of 2009 – a period spanning one of the most turbulent periods in the industry’s
history. It is a period that has seen the arrival of sweeping new European
Union regulations on hedge funds and private equity, for example, as well as
changes to regulations on hedge funds in the US.

Among his previous roles, Inglis was chief executive at Ferox
Capital between 2007 and 2010. He also spent 16 years at Morgan Stanley, where
he was co-head of European prime brokerage from 2003-2007.

Inglis starts his new role the beginning of 2014, with Baker
remaining to oversee the handover until that time.
