ICE Canyon Hires AllianceBernstein Emerging Markets Debt Team

ICE Canyon LLC is pleased to announce that James Barrineau, Fernando Grisales, and Alexander Moseley, formerly senior members of the Emerging Markets debt team at AllianceBernstein L.P., will be joining ICE Canyon, starting June 28, 2010. At AllianceBernstein, Mr. Barrineau, Mr. Grisales, and Mr. Moseley were senior members on the investment team that managed one of the largest dedicated pools of Emerging Markets debt. Their responsibilities included portfolio management, trading, investment strategy, and research. The team brings to ICE Canyon deep professional experience (over forty years of combined experience in investment management, trading and sales, and public service at the Federal Reserve Bank of New York and other positions in the U.S. government) and an excellent long-term track record in Emerging Markets debt.
At ICE Canyon, the new team will be responsible for a dedicated Sovereign Credit and Local Currency investment platform.
ICE Canyon was founded in October 2006 and manages over $2 billion in Emerging Markets and Global Credit investment strategies. ICE Canyon is a joint venture with Canyon Capital Advisors—a leading global alternative investment management firm with over $17.5 billion in assets under management.
Nathan Sandler, co-founder and Managing Partner of ICE Canyon, emphasized the strategic value the new team will bring to ICE Canyon’s strong franchise for Emerging Markets and Global Credit: “We are thrilled by the opportunity to bring Jim Barrineau, Fernando Grisales, and Alec Moseley to ICE Canyon. The team will immediately complement our global investment platform. ICE Canyon’s clients will now have access to an expanded full range of Emerging Markets and Global Credit investment strategies, managed by an experienced team of highly skilled professionals.”
Mr. Sandler elaborated further, “At ICE Canyon, our mission is investing excellence in Emerging Markets and Global Credit, achieved using a proven investment approach, leading edge research and due diligence, disciplined investment strategy and risk management, and product innovation. Our new Sovereign Credit team exemplifies this institutional commitment to performance and excellence.”
