Prior to launching Altana, Lee co-founded Trafalgar and was CIO of Trafalgar Catalyst Fund and Trafalgar Special Situations Fund. He also worked for 3 years at Tudor Capital, where he was senior manager responsible for building an impressive Global Equity Risk Arbitrage portfolio. Prior to that he worked at Deutsche Bank, Bankers Trust and Paribas in trading both equity derivatives and credit derivatives.
Lee developed a unique risk system at Tudor, which he brought successfully to Trafalgar. He is experienced in innovative trade construction using options and credit products. Moreover, he predicted the credit crisis in 2007-2009 and subsequent Sovereign crises. As a result, he traded profitably in 2008 including trades that successfully hedged against the deterioration of the financial system, the Iceland default, subprime mortgages and the weakening of the European Banks.
Lee has a BA in Mathematics from Cambridge University and is co-author of the book "The Gathering Storm".
