A former Goldman Sachs managing director has returned to the US bank after the closure of the all-star quantitative hedge fund he joined in 2012.

Peter Hartley worked at Goldman Sachs from 2003 to 2012 as a quant trader in foreign exchange and derivatives, reaching the rank of managing director - one below the coveted partner level - in 2010. He rejoined Goldman Sachs on July 8, according to the UK's Financial Services Register.
