Former SAC Capital Advisors head researcher Aaron Cowen has joined Soros Fund Management to be a portfolio manager, according to a recent article by the Wall Street Journal.

Soros Fund Management LLC, founded in 1969 by investor and chairman George Soros, privately manages hedge funds including the investor’s famed Quantum fund.
