The fund was the top-ranked event-driven fund for the period 1998 through 2000 in terms of risk-adjusted, non-correlated total return (MAR/Hedge, April 2000), and ranked 17th out of 592 total hedge funds globally. Before founding Guard Hill Capital, Mr. Keller had ten years of experience as a Managing Director and head of proprietary arbitrage and distressed securities trading for two major Wall Street investment banks, Kidder, Peabody and Bankers Trust. Mr. Keller began his career as an investment banker in the Mergers and Acquisitions department of Oppenheimer & Co. in 1983.
