"Avala Global, launched by former Viking Global star trader Divya Nettimi, had strong performance numbers in 2025. However, the firm has continued to lose staff. Three investment analysts left in the second half of 2025, and Nettimi's fund is set to lose two more senior executives in 2026, including the firm's COO. Avala Global, the $2 billion manager launched by Nettimi in late 2022, gained 22.1% in 2025, according to the firm's year-end letter to clients, which was viewed by Business Insider."
"The manager will also lose its COO, David Angstreich, and top fundraiser, Rebecca Chia. Both are set to depart in the coming months, three people close to the firm tell Business Insider. Angstreich and Lin did not respond to requests for comment, while Chia and Straff declined to comment. Business Insider could not reach Wang in time for publication. Avala declined to comment."
Avala Global launched in late 2022 with $2 billion in assets under management. The manager posted a 22.1% gain in 2025. The firm lost three investment analysts—Jordan Straff, Nadine Lin, and Michael Wang—in the second half of 2025. Two more senior executives, COO David Angstreich and top fundraiser Rebecca Chia, are set to depart in 2026. Angstreich had been with Avala since launch, and Chia joined in mid-2025 after roles at Atalaya Capital and Third Point. The firm hired former Viking Global general counsel Andrew Genser and added at least four analysts in 2025, including two from Clayton Dubilier & Rice.
