McCormick, 47, will oversee research to help formulate investment strategy and will be based in the firm's London office, reporting into Founding Partners, David Lofthouse and Graham Walsh. He replaces Tomas Jelf.

He joins Prologue Capital with more than 20 years of experience, most recently as Head of Asset Allocation Research for Barclays in London. In this capacity, he was the managing editor of the widely circulated Equity Gilt Study and the Global Macro Daily.
