Shamsi gets the boot...
Looks like 27 year old Matt Swain from Triago will become head of secondaries at Houlihan now that Houlihan has bought Triago. I suspect Pillson and Shamsi will be leaving/getting the boot. Tough end to the year.

Daddy owns a hedge fund
Secondaries is a very specific skill set and he happens to be amongst the ancient and have the most years of experience in the industry
Oof looks like your comment got modded
Mods have gotten unbelievably soft for things that represent nothing but the brutal truth about certain people. It's like any word about Shamsi is perceived as insulting Xi Jinping
That's incredible, well deserved. Matt Swain sounds like a G

In all seriousness, did he get the boot?
No
Matt Swain sounds like a visionary - I like the guy even if he’s only 27
He's also a hunk
This guy allegedly rents an apartment with a view into the office so he can see if people are coming into the office on weekends...
I imagine that he urinates while sitting down.
I am not even in secondaries and find this all very fascinating. Tell us more.
Shamsi sounds like a creepy beta
Glad to hear Matt Swain went in and took his spot
Looks like he did not get fired, but he got layered...ouch...only time before he leaves. From Secondary Investor today it states he will remain a senior member of the team and focus on GP-leds lol
Anyone with any self respect would resign, but Shamsi just stays on to let the team bully him to the ground. I guess he still needs to pay the bills of his tiny Chelsea studio somehow to host his circle jerk Super Bowl Secondaries parties...
