Steve Kahn

Head of Operations at Talpion Fund Management

Speaker

Steve Kahn joined Talpion Fund Management in April 2010 to build the platform for the eventual launch of their hedge fund in 2011. Talpion subsequently decided to close the fund, preferring to actively manage its own assets internally. Aside from its public liquid investments, the single-family office allocates to hedge funds and private equity. Steve’s current role includes managing operations, accounting, IT, HR, compliance and performing ODD. He is also responsible for managing all the vendor relationships of the firm.

His experience working with Hedge Funds started in 2000 at DLJ/Pershing, holding various positions until eventually being responsible for its Prime Brokerage operations. In 2003 he moved to Barclays Capital to manage the Equity Prime Brokerage operations group. He later joined Carlyle Blue-Wave in 2007, a multi-strategy start-up hedge fund in New York and thereafter joined Raptor Capital Management, a hedge fund spin-out from under Tudor Management.

Steve graduated Emory University in 1989 with a BBA in Management and received his MBA in Finance from Emory’s Business School in 1993.
