Initially he was involved in all aspects of hedge fund investing ranging from advisory related activities to manager selection and portfolio management work. During that period he was instrumental in building up the customized portfolio effort, which became one of the main pillars of the group.
In 2004, Marko focused exclusively on manager selection work in the global relative value/arbitrage sector, which encompassed most non-directional hedge fund strategies across all asset classes. In 2005 Mr. Sobic was promoted to deputy sector head for event driven strategies responsible for all European investments. In 2006 he was promoted to sector head assuming responsibility for all event driven investments globally.
