ExodusPoint loses two senior macro portfolio managers in Dubai
Hedgeweek, citing a Business Insider report, says ExodusPoint Capital lost two senior macro portfolio managers from its Dubai operation less than a year after their appointments. Chris Wheeler and Daniel Dangoor both departed the $15.5bn multi-strategy hedge fund founded by Michael Gelband, each having managed independent macro investment teams from the Dubai office. Wheeler joined in December 2025 and Dangoor in June 2026. The report attributes the departures to challenging trading conditions weighing on discretionary macro strategies.
