Eisler Capital said in February that it planned to hire up to 25 new portfolio managers (an increase of circa 25%) to manage between $1bn and $1.5bn of new capital. This followed a 50% increase in its investment teams from 40 to 50 last year. 

Eisler declined to comment for this article, but multiple sources said the firm has moved to a new office in London’s Piccadilly. Eisler’s name is accordingly displayed on two placards at MYO PICADILLY, a new office block near one of London’s few Whole Foods stores. Other occupants include Verition and Centerview. 

Eisler’s main London office has historically been at 16 St. James’ Street, but it’s understood that it also has a second office at 117 Jermyn Street, where its support and technology staff have traditionally sat. The new Piccadilly office may be an opportunity to unite all Eisler’s people in one building. Start-up hedge fund Jain Global now has its own office at 16 St. James and there’s speculation that Jain may move into Eisler’s space if Eisler moves out. 

MYO PICADILLY boasts an internal green wall, a tree “towering in the central atrium” and 20 terraces with “panoramic views across the capital.”

It’s thought that Eisler may be looking for a new office in New York too, although this has not been confirmed. 

Bloomberg reported last week that 10 portfolio managers have left Eisler Capital in recent weeks after additional exits earlier this year. Speaking in a podcast in May, Sam Wisnia, Eisler’s deputy CIO, said the fund doesn’t suit people who just want to be “left alone” without their investment strategy being questioned. 

Bloomberg reported in early September that Eisler Capital gained 0.06% between January and August 2024. This compared to 11.5% at the top performer, Walleye Capital.
