Highland, which won Risk’s hedge fund manager of the year award this January, mainly focuses on high-grade, low-duration mortgage-backed securities and asset-backed securities but hired Smith to be responsible for credit risk products as the company expands to credit-sensitive structured products.

Smith joins from Stonehenge Financial Partners, an investment banking and advisory firm he founded in 1996. Before this, he was co-head of the asset-backed structured finance group at Nomura Securities International. Smith was previously with Donaldson Lufkin & Jenrette, where he managed the firm's commercial and non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities. Smith’s appointment reunites him with Richard Sauerwein, his partner at Stonehenge, who joined Highland in February 2004.
