The multi-strategy commodities hedge fund being set up by former Barclays Capital fixed income structuring head Aurelia Lamorre-Cargill and ex-Graham Capital partner Marcos Bueno has made its first senior investment hires, ahead of its official launch.

New York-based Argon Capital Management, which Lamorre-Cargill - who was named on the FN100 list of the Most Influential Women in Finance in 2007, 2008 and 2009 - and Bueno announced they were setting up in July 2015, has recruited half a dozen portfolio managers as well as a chief risk officer, who between them have worked at some of the world's most high-profile hedge funds.
