HEDGE FUND ALERT: May 23, 2007, 5 Marine View Plaza, Suite 400, Hoboken NJ 07030. 201-659-1700

More staffers are moving through D.B. Zwirn’s employeeturnstile, with at least four executives departing in the last twomonths and 62 new hires arriving so far this year.

The moves compound turnover that has been taking placefollowing the New York multi-strategyshop’s discovery late last year that it hadmade a slew of accounting errors. Theyalso come after the awarding of annualbonuses.

But the turbulence apparently hasn’taffected the outfit’s fund-raising abili-ties, as its assets under managementhave swelled by $3 billion since Jan. 1,to $8 billion.

Among the latest to leave is ShahidRamzan, who headed trading of illiq-uid instruments worldwide. Hedeparted earlier this month. So didRob Levinson, who presided over pri-vate investments in public entities.Also gone is Driss Benkirane, whoquit in April as a vice presidentresponsible for real estate-relatedcredit-product investments in theU.S. And global director of opera-tions Jim Wilk recently left to takeon the same role at Carlyle BlueWave, the multi-strategy venture startedby Carlyle Group last year.

Some employees who have left in recent months may set uptheir own fund shop that would focus on real estate, corporatelending and illiquid securities, much like Zwirn. It’s unclearwhich of them are involved, or how far the plans have advanced.

Some of Zwirn’s new hires, meanwhile, have filled therecently vacated positions. Ted Hagan, for example, has takenover for Wilk as operations chief. Hagan previously was a man-aging director at J.P. Morgan Chase and once headed operations

at Paloma Partners, where Wilk reported to him.Gintas Karpavicius, formerly of the real estate group at

Harbert Management, has replaced Benkirane in Zwirn’s realestate unit. Within the past five weeks, Zwirn has also hired:Steve Greenwood, Brad Flood and Qi Li in various controller

positions.Ty Oyer as a compliance officer.Blaine Hurty and Kate Leonard ininvestor-relations roles.Margaret Chu, who invests in struc-tured debt of media and entertain-ment companies.Reddy Vaishnavi as a structured-debt specialist in New Delhi, India.

After learning of its accountingmistakes, Zwirn launched a $20 mil-lion investigation that uncoverednumerous instances where its activi-ties were booked incorrectly and assetswere improperly shifted among itsaccounts. The firm, headed by DanZwirn, then told investors in March thatthe missteps would result in only minorchanges to its returns dating back to2004, but that the SEC had commencedits own probe.

Zwirn has tried to pin much of theblame on former chief financial officerPerry Gruss, who left in October.

Separately from the accounting blunders, notable departuresthis year have included operations executive Harold Kahn andgeneral counsel David Proshan in January. Suzanne Kelley, amanaging director who worked above Benkirane as head of U.S.real estate credit investments, resigned in March. She has notbeen replaced yet, but Zwirn has filled a number of other vacan-cies, both by elevating existing employees and bringing in out-siders. �

Still No Letup in Zwirn’s Staffing Shuffle

Departures Take Offit Out of Offit HallA father and two sons who make up a big chunk of the leadership at Offit Hall

Capital are splitting off from the $22 billion investment shop to form their ownventure.

Morris Offit, the operation’s New York-based co-chief executive, and sons Daniel

and Ned Offit — both managing directors — are expected to make their exits thissummer. Their new firm, based in New York, will operate in the wealth-manage-ment business.

According to SEC documents, each of the Offits owns 10-25% of Offit Hall. Co-chief executive Kathryn Hall, who is staying, holds a 10-25% stake in the SanFrancisco-based operation as well.Also remaining in San Francisco is director of investment-advisory servicesJohn Buoymaster, who controls 5-10% of the shop, and a 24-member investment-research team. The outfit will be renamed to reflect the Offits’ departure. The

See ZWIRN on Profitable Artis Ratchets Up Investor TermsFollowing in the footsteps of other highly profitable hedge fund shops, Artis

Capital is revising the terms of its vehicles to make them less favorable to investors.Effective July 1, the $2.25 billion technology-stock firm will, among other things,

nullify a “key-man” provision, begin locking up new investors for three years, increasesome management fees and take steps to insulate itself from shareholder lawsuits.

All indications are that investors will go along, albeit grudgingly. Those whodon’t can withdraw without penalties.Artis, led by Stuart Peterson, updates the terms of its three hedge funds every18 months. It is able to get away with the stricter covenants this time aroundbecause those vehicles have been putting up dazzling performance figures, makingthem a hit with new investors.Indeed, the firm’s Artis Partners vehicle gained 20% last year, while its Artis
