Stanford University.
"We are delighted to welcome Michael Ho back," said Charlie Jacklin,
president and chief executive officer of Mellon Capital. "He is well versed
in our investment philosophy and approach, which has produced strong
results over the long term. I would like to thank Tom Hazuka, who is moving
to a new position as he leaves our investment team in great shape."
"I and the other investment professionals at Mellon Capital have worked
with Michael in the past, and we are excited to be working with him again,"
Hazuka said. "His views on the quantitative investment process are closely
aligned with mine, and I know that our clients will benefit from his top-
flight abilities and insights. With Michael coming aboard, I feel confident
that I am leaving our investment processes in good hands and can devote
more time to client relationships."
