Norfolk, Va., Oct. 1 – Halcyon Asset Management, LLC has named Damien Miller and Daniele Benatoff as co-heads of Halcyon Asset Management (UK) LLP, according to a press release.

Miller, who will focus on European credit and will join the firm by the end of the year, was most recently a managing director and global head of special situations at Alcentra, where he built out the firm’s distressed and opportunistic credit investment business and acted as portfolio manager. He was previously a director and portfolio manager for the special situations group at Barclays Capital in New York.

Prior to joining Halcyon, Benatoff co-founded Benros Capital Partners LLP in London, an event-driven hedge fund where he was chief executive officer and head of research from 2011 to 2013.

“Both Daniele and Damien are extremely talented investors whom we have been watching for a long time,” Halcyon chairman John Bader said in the release. “They are uniquely well-equipped to represent us in Europe, and we are delighted that they have both decided to join us and serve as co-heads of Halcyon Asset Management (UK) LLP.”
