Kiev to expand the services he provides to hedge funds and other investment firms.

Psychiatrist, trading coach and author Ari Kiev, M.D., has launched Kiev Consulting, a consulting firm specializing in peak performance coaching for hedge funds and institutional investors and traders. He has worked with some of the most prominent hedge funds in the country for more than 16 years. Kiev said he is expanding the services he provides to hedge funds and other investment firms to include the assessment of new portfolio managers, teambuilding and leadership training.

"This consulting practice effectively allows me to broaden my reach and offer customized services to an increasing number of fund managers who are recognizing the importance of a psychological perspective in managing investments," he said in a press release. "Given the stress of today's market and the challenges faced by professional investors, I felt the time was ripe for expanding my consultation work," he added.
