Seneko
Selecting outstanding alternative asset managers for our investor network.
Cédric Kohler founded Seneko in 2023 after more than a decade at Fundana, a Fund of Hedge Funds boutique based in Switzerland with a 30 year track record. He led their business development and was a member of the investment committee.
Prior to that he was a Managing Director at Lombard Odier running their Fund of Hedge Funds business during the Global Financial crisis.
At Citadel Investment Group, he co-ran their Portfolio Construction group in Chicago creating a risk management framework which is still in place today.
He also was a Managing Director at Merrill Lynch in New York as Global Head of the Prime Brokerage Risk Group.
He started his career at UBS where he held several roles in trading and risk management in Zurich, London and New York.
Cédric is now based in Geneva, Switzerland, his hometown, combining his deep network of investors, his family and a stimulating outdoor life.
