Engineers Gate cuts most of fundamental equities team after October losses
Hedgeweek reports that Engineers Gate dismissed the majority of its Synthesis fundamental equities team, including head Mike Daylamani, after a performance review following October losses. The team accounted for approximately 14% of the firm's gross market value at the end of October, with five fundamental portfolio managers remaining, and CEO Greg Eisner told investors performance fell short of required standards. The firm was down 5.5% for October through 23 October, per a person familiar with the results, as reversals in AI and technology stocks triggered losses.
