Jeffrey Gundlach Likes The Other Horses In Secretariat's Stable
DoubleLine Capital, the bond management firm run by Jeffrey Gundlach, said on Monday it had hired an executive from rival Pimco to run a new unit focused on developing new investment products and lines of business, particularly outside the United States. DoubleLine named Ignacio Sosa, previously Pimco's executive vice president for global bond product management, director of its newly formed Product Solutions Group. He starts on May 12 and will report to Gundlach. Sosa's departure comes after a management shakeup and months of investor outflows at Newport Beach, California-based Pimco. [Reuters, related]
