Chee Ooi joined SSgA as a senior portfolio manager in the firm’s global active equity group, said spokeswoman Marie McGehee.
Mr. Ooi replaces Taras Ivanenko, who was one of several global quantitative team members at SSgA who left in December to join Lazard Asset Management.
Mr. Ooi was a director and senior quantitative analyst in Citi Investment Research’s quantitative research group. Citi spokesman Duncan Smith couldn’t immediately be reached for information about Mr. Ooi’s replacement.
