Cheyne Capital's SIV, "Cheyne Finance PLC" was forced into liquidation because of losses. Deloitte & Touche were appointed as receivers.[2][3][4]
The Cheyne group currently employs approximately 170 people in its 12 offices world-wide.[5]
The firm's co-founder, Stuart Fiertz, was a member of the 14-person Hedge Fund Working Group, which devised best practice policies regarding financial valuation, transparency, and risk management.[6][7] Those guidelines evolved into what is now the Standards Board for Alternative Investments, a self-regulatory body of which Cheyne is a member.[8] It is also a member of the Alternative Investment Management Association (AIMA),[9] the global representative of the alternative investment industry. In April 2014, Stuart Fiertz was appointed as a Director of the AIMA Global Council and is Chair of AIMA’s Alternative Credit Council, a committee of alternative asset management firms which are financing the real economy.[10]
