and Partner prior to his resignation to form Windham Capital. During
this time, Mr. Mellor focused on identifying investment advisors
specializing in enhanced cash strategies. Great emphasis was placed
on discovering hedged programs as well as unique, non-traditional
strategies.

U.S. Olympic Hockey Team in Sapporo, Japan. He turned professional

Upon
the formation of Windham Capital in 1990, Mr. Mellor co-founded
Trillium Partners, L.P., a multi-manager fund allocating assets
to various hedge funds. The Firm also worked on a number of projects.
In
the early 90's a Fortune 500 company in the midwest hired Windham
to construct a multi-advisor portfolio to manage their cash reserves
through diverse conservative managers. The program was successful,
and eventually wound down as the company began utilizing its reserves
for acquisitions. Additionally, a university in the Southwest hired
Windham to perform a nationwide search seeking a niche manager for
a US$100mm pool of capital. The search was successfull.
In
1996, the company reorganized as Windham Capital Group, Inc. Windham
Capital Group now focuses its business primarily in 2 areas; as
an agent raising capital for a select group of hedge funds and secondly,
as a consultant to a large pool of capital managed by a diversified
group of hedge fund managers.
