LIST OF HEDGE FUND TRADERS AT ELITE TRADING


Tuesday Aug 21, 12:21PM

This interesting list of hedge fund managers originally appeared on a forum at Elite Trading in 2005 so bear in mind that some of
the information here is out of date. There's no attribution at the site and I'm going to reproduce it in full until someone asks me to
take it down.

STEVIE COHEN

City: Stamford, Connecticut


Firm: SAC Capital Advisors
Age: 48
He looks a little like George from Seinfeld and dresses as plainly as a suburban accountant, but make no mistake: Stevie Cohen is
the master of the hedge-fund universe, and he made more money than anyone else on the Trader Monthly 100 for the second year
running. Intensely secretive, Cohen was said to have been annoyed when the New York Times recently ran a front-page story
highlighting his art collection, and unsurprisingly, he declined to be interviewed for this story, the man behind 13-year-old SAC
Capital commands what might be the most powerful trading force on the planet.

Because the firm has been so successful, Cohen is comfortable taking half the profits from the few clients lucky enough to have
access to his greatness, but in truth, he hardly has any clients left. Cohen, who overall produced returns somewhere in the mid-20
percent range last year, is mostly trading his and other SAC employees' money. "In what was a difficult year for the markets,
Stevie is trading better than ever," says one industry insider.

What does Cohen do with all his cash? His 14-acre Greenwich, Connecticut, estate is referred to locally as "Chelsea Piers" for its
array of sporting amusements. Then, of course, there's that art collection: enough Warhol and Pollock to earn him a seat on the
board of the Museum of Modern Art. And like many of the hedge-fund elite, Cohen donates a considerable amount to charity.
Estimated income: $600-$650 million

JAMES SIMONS
City: East Setauket, New York
Firm: Renaissance Technologies Corp.
Age: 67
Renaissance's Long Island retreat more resembles a college campus than a hedge-fund hub, and Simons, a former math professor
with a Ph.D. from Berkeley who was once fired from a government defense job for protesting Vietnam, is not your typical tycoon.
But industry insiders say that Renaissance's Medallion fund, with its black-box quantitative strategies, had another phenomenal
year. Simons's cut of the profits: more than 35 percent.
Estimated income: $500-$550 million

PAUL TUDOR JONES II


City: Greenwich, Connecticut
Firm: Tudor Investment Corp.
Age: 50
Even when other hedge funds stumble, Jones stays near the front of the pack. In the nearly 20 years since he started his fund, the
former New York Cotton Exchange floor trader has never had a down year. The past 12 months were no exception — insiders say
Tudor Investment, bolstered by returns in the energy markets, kicked ass.
Well-liked on Wall Street and known for his philanthropy (he launched the Robin Hood Foundation in 1988), Jones is a
Hemingway-esque sportsman. Among his extravagances: a game ranch in Zimbabwe. When not on safari, Jones, who loves the
Florida Everglades, is big on conservation projects.
Estimated income: $500-$550 million

EDDIE LAMPERT
City: Greenwich, Connecticut
Firm: ESL Partners
Age: 42
IN 2003, Eddie Lampert was kidnapped. After 30 hours, he was able to talk his way out of the motel room in which he was being
held hostage. Last year, the former head of Goldman Sachs's risk-arbitrage desk was putting his dealmaking skills to different use:
He made headlines orchestrating the merger of Sears with Kmart, which he had previously led out of its financial despair.
Lampert, who started ESL in 1988 with funding from Richard Rainwater, epitomizes the new generation of hedge-fund managers
who meld trading, private equity, leveraged buyout and traditional hedge-fund management.
Estimated income: $450-$500 million

BRUCE KOVNER
City: New York
Firm: Caxton Associates
Age: 60
Still involved in day-to-day trading, Kovner and his $10 billion global macro operation did so well in 2004 that Caxton bumped
up its fees from 2-and-20 to 3-and-30. The firm was particularly successful in energy trading — at least one of his senior energy
traders retired early. Kovner, however, is going strong. A math professor turned Wall Street profiteer, Kovner is known for his
neoconservative politics; the man who shuns the press is one of the financial muscles behind the New York Sun newspaper. His
varied career also involved a stint driving a yellow cab and studying the harpsichord at Juilliard before making it big trading
soybean futures.
Estimated income: $300-$350 million

JAMES PALLOTTA
City: Boston
Firm: Tudor Investment Corp.
Age: 46
Racking up an 18 percent gain in 2004, Pallotta's more than $6 billion Raptor Global Portfolio generated this hedge-fund pro a fat
check in February. "He is the top-paid guy at the firm after Paul Tudor Jones," says one insider. Pallotta joined Jones in 1993 after
a stint at Essex Investment Management, where he was director of research, when Jones was seeking to diversify the firm away
from the futures and commodities markets.
Estimated income: $200-$250 million

STANLEY DRUCKENMILLER
City: New York
Firm: Duquesne Capital Management
Age: 51
Reports on how Druckenmiller and his $6 billion Duquesne Capital hedge-fund operation performed in 2004 are mixed. One
knowledgeable industry veteran tells us his returns were in the 25 percent range. The former chief investment officer for George
Soros, Druckenmiller has shown a distinct willingness to take aggressive positions even when markets are not necessarily
behaving according to conventional wisdom.
Estimated income: $150-$200 million

JEFFREY GENDELL
City: Greenwich, Connecticut
Firm: Tontine Partners
Age: 45
Making a 100 percent return on $1 billion-plus in assets is astonishing anytime, but in a year when even the superstars were
thrilled to be around 40 percent, the secretive Gendell was shooting the moon at Tontine, thanks to a big energy push. Indeed, he
has proved a consistent performer: In 2003, his overseas long/short fund boasted returns of 153 percent.
Estimated income: $150-$200 million

RICHARD PERRY
City: New York
Firm: Perry Capital
Age: 50
Founded in 1988 by the former Goldman trader, Perry Capital has some $11 billion under management. With offices in New
York, London and Hong Kong, the firm is pushing into middle-market lending with its recent purchase of Capital Factors. Event-
driven arbitrage and distressed debt remain Perry's strengths.
Estimated income: $150-$200 million

JOHN ARNOLD

City: Houston
Firm: Centaurus Energy
Age: 31
Arnold made a name for himself as the Enron trader. While he got his share of roasting in the press, the natural-gas trader didn't
do anything criminal — he just made hundreds of millions of dollars in profits for the infamous firm. He started Centaurus in
2002. Energy traders say his first full year was phenomenal, and 2004 was even better. Centaurus is estimated to have produced
as much as $800 million in profits.
Estimated income: $100 - $150 million

LOUIS BACON

City: New York


Firm: Moore Capital Management
Age: 48
Another hedge-fund manager who shuns publicity, Bacon had a strong 2004 — notching a 34 percent return — following on the
heels of a phenomenal performance in 2003. Among other bets, the $7 billion global macro machine went long the S&P 500
toward the end of the year, catching (if not propelling) the late rally.
Estimated income: $100 - $150 million

RICHARD CHILTON
City: Stamford, Connecticut, and New York
Firm: Chilton Investment Company
Age: 46
With offices in New York and Stamford, Chilton runs four long/short strategies. His flagship U.S. portfolio has an annualized
return of 19 percent, net of fees, since its 1992 inception. He's yet another hedge-fund heavy who sits on the board of Paul Tudor
Jones's Robin Hood Foundation.
Estimated income: $100 - $150 million

DAVID TEPPER
City: Chatham, New Jersey
Firm: Appaloosa Management
Age: 45
The former Goldman Sachs junk-bond trader who shot the lights out in 2003 and then gave back $1 billion to clients had another
strong year in 2004. His Appaloosa fund had returns of around 40 percent last year, and once again he has given back money to
his clients (another $700 million), bringing his assets closer to $2 billion — the level at which he would like to remain.
Estimated income: $100-$150 million
MARK KINGDON
City: New York
Firm: Kingdon Capital Management Corp.
Age: 56
A third-degree black belt in tae kwan do, Kingdon oversees a $3 billion portfolio of stocks, bonds, currencies and options. His
first job in the industry was in the pension-asset division of AT&T; he later joined a New York money manager. One of the
industry's living legends, he has a lesser-known spiritual side.
Estimated income: $75 - $100 million

STEPHEN MANDEL
City: Greenwich, Connecticut
Firm: Lone Pine Capital
Age: 49
One of several Tiger Management alumni who have launched their own hedge funds, Mandel has garnered $6 billion in assets for
his Lone Pine Capital. In a difficult market environment in 2004, Mandel's returns were above average. He was part of a group of
long/short hedge-fund managers to open long-only funds and is currently searching for opportunities in Asia. He recently gave
significant money to Bill Clinton's global AIDS-prevention initiative.
Estimated income: $75-$100 million

LIEF ROSENBLATT
City: New York
Firm: Satellite Asset Management
Age: 51
Founded in 1999 by former Soros star Rosenblatt and two other partners, Satellite now has more than $5 billion in assets, and
returns were roughly 25 percent in 2004, according to insiders. Before joining Soros, the Rhodes scholar led the risk-arbitrage
department at Plaza Securities in New York. He also has a law degree from Harvard. "Satellite is one of the top hedge funds in the
world," says one Wall Street trader.
Estimated income: $75-$100 million

BARRY S. ROSENSTEIN
City: San Francisco
Firm: Jana Partners
Age: 46
Viewed as sharp and down-to-earth, Rosenstein is part of a group of activist hedge-fund managers publicly browbeating corporate
officers to change. In 2004, his most notable coup was teaming up with Third Point's Dan Loeb and forcing the sale of software
maker InterCept. Earlier this year, Rosenstein joined with the legendary Carl Icahn and went after Kerr-McGee. The fund has
around $3 billion in assets and had 30 percent returns in 2004, before fees.
Estimated income: $75-$100 million

DAVID SHAW
City: New York
Firm: D.E. Shaw & Co.
Age: 53
D.E. Shaw has done so well in recent years that in late 2002, the firm hiked fees to 3-and-30 and investors didn't blink; such is the
price of access to chairman Shaw and his braintrust. A former college professor, Shaw helped develop Morgan Stanley's
automated trading system before launching his quant fund in 1988.
Estimated income: $75 - $100 million

ROBERT SOROS
City: New York
Firm: Soros Fund Management
Age: 41
Last year, when George Soros handed over the reins to his sons, Robert was appointed to oversee the $8.3 billion Quantum
Endowment Fund. Industry sources say this is no vanity role, and the younger Soros was in fact assuming positions in the markets
for Quantum last year.
Estimated income: $75 - $100 million
KAVEH ALAMOUTI
City: New York
Firm: Moore Capital Management
Age: 51

Alamouti, previously the CEO of Optimum Asset Management, joined Moore's European operation a few years ago. The crack
trader was put in charge of portfolio investing across a number of asset classes �€ and has since rocketed up the ranks at Moore.
Estimated income: $50 - $75 million

ISRAEL ENGLANDER
City: New York
Firm: Millennium Partners
Age: 56

It has been a rough couple of years for Englander and Millennium Partners. In 2003, the fund became a boldface name in the
mutual-fund investigation after one of its former traders was accused of market timing. Still, the multi-strategy macro fund
remains the envy of many traders. Industry insiders maintain that the man called Izzy is still actively involved in day-to-day
portfolio management. His $3.5 billion fund ended the year up just over 8 percent.
Estimated income: $50$75 million

ALAN HOWARD
City: London
Firm: Brevan Howard Asset Management
Age: 41

Howard is earning a reputation as one of the greatest traders ever. Market participants say the team that spun out of CSFB in 2002
under Howard is amazing, "but Alan is by far the best trader among them." He certainly defies the axiom that bank prop traders
find it difficult when they go it alone. As if growing to become one of the larger hedge funds on earth he had amassed nearly $8
billion in assets as of the end of 2004 wasn't sweet enough for him, City sources say Howard was also one of the few traders who
was on the winning end of the rate bet that almost upended Vega last summer.
Estimated income: $50 - $75 million

DAN LOEB
City: New York
Firm: Third Point Management Co.
Age: 43

Say what you will Loeb certainly knows how to make money. As the founder and president of Third Point (the fund is named
after Malibu's Third Point at Surf Rider Beach), Loeb has built a reputation as something of a loudmouth with the e-mail zingers
and pointed shareholder letters he sends to corporate executives with whom he's unhappy. Loeb's most recent antics were e-
mailed among traders far and wide a particularly spicy exchange between Loeb and a European potential hire that found its way
into the press. In case you're interested: Here it is .

But behind the noise is a smart investor who steered his $3 billion hedge funds to returns north of 30 percent last year.
Estimated income: $50 - $75 million
RAJ RAJARATNAM
City: New York
Firm: The Galleon Group
Age: 47

Founder of the $5 billion Galleon, one of the top-performing equity funds of the '90s, Rajaratnam remains actively involved in
investment strategy and trading. He also continues to be passionate about his native Sri Lanka. After the devastating December 26
tsunami, Rajaratnam, who was in Sri Lanka at the time, established a charity fund to help build housing for survivors of the
disaster.
Estimated income: $50 - $75 million

KEN TROPIN
City: Stamford, Connecticut
Firm: Graham Capital Management
Age: 51

Tropin sizzled in 2004 (it didn't hurt that he built an energy desk at the end of 2003). He founded the $4 billion commodities

WILLIAM VON MUEFFLING


City: New York and London
Firm: Cantillon Capital Management
Age: 37

Von Mueffling stung Lazard Asset Management when he left in 2003 to form his own fund. Since then, Cantillon has picked up
more than $6 billion in assets and posted double-digit returns. Even with last year's low volatility for long/short equity, Von
Mueffling fared impressively.
Estimated income: $50 - $75 million

DWIGHT ANDERSON
City: New York
Firm: Ospraie Management
Age: 45

Having worked with Julian Robertson and Paul Tudor Jones, Anderson knows a thing or two about running a hedge fund and is
held in high esteem on the Street. Lehman Brothers recently bought a 20 percent stake in his $2 billion fund, and if last year's
results are anything to go by, they got a good deal. Anderson, whose background is in commodities trading, benefited from a great
year in the oil markets. His friends say he has a penchant for adventurous vacations.
Estimated income: $40 - $50 million

Firm: Fortress Investment Group

PHILIP FALCONE
City: New York
Firm: Harbert Management Corp.
Age: 42
It was another good year for Falcone. The junk-bond trader and former Harvard hockey player started his fund four years ago and
has grown assets to more than $3 billion. Personable and polite in private, Falcone is a pit bull in the distressed markets. While
many of his rivals were struggling to find paper worth chasing in 2004, Falcone showed that he's second to none in this illiquid
asset class.
Estimated income: $40 - $50 million

DAVID GORTON
City: London
Firm: London Diversified Fund Management
Age: 41

London Diversified had an excellent year, according to sources in the City, so CIO Gorton cleaned up. Launched in 2002, the
fund is staffed by a slew of former J.P. Morgan professionals. As a standout prop trader at J.P. Morgan, Gorton and his crack team
were reputed to bring in more than $1 billion a year in profits for the venerated Wall Street bank.
Estimated income: $40 - $50 million

WAYNE HOLMAN
City: Stamford, Connecticut
Firm: SAC Capital
Age: Mid-30s

Holman is not a high-profile guy; indeed, outside the hallowed halls of SAC Capital, very little is known about him. But insiders
assure us that, as a health-care trader for SAC's Sigma Capital, Holman earns. "He makes a bloody fortune," says one source.
Estimated income: $40 - $50 million

ROY LENNOX
City: New York
Firm: Caxton Associates
Age: 47

Hired by Bruce Kovner (see page 72) at Caxton straight out of business school, Lennox started as a commodities trader,

Estimated income: $40 - $50 million

PETER ABRAMENKO
City: Stamford, Connecticut
Firm: SAC Capital
Age: 43

Abramenko is spearheading SAC's fixed-income push and helps the Sigma Capital Management fund. He's somewhat shadowy
and aloof, but one hell of a trader. In 2003, when he was still head prop trader at UBS Principal Finance, he earned a bonus of $17
million. Not long after pocketing that, he left and later joined SAC.
Estimated income: $30 - $40 million

LAWRENCE HILIBRAND
City: Greenwich, Connecticut
Firm: JWM Partners
Age: 46

A decade ago, this egghead arb trader's name was synonymous with Wall Street hubris when he became the top-paid trader at
Salomon Brothers. Subsequently, he was part of a group of traders who had come to epitomize hedge-fund hubris: The fund he
helped steer, Long-Term Capital Management, almost caused an apocalypse on the Street.

Since the LTCM debacle in 1998, Hilibrand has flown under the radar. But he was among the group, led yet again by John
Meriwether, that has since started a new fund, JWM Partners (Hilibrand has a 10 percent-plus stake). JWM has quietly been
raising money — assets under management fall well north of $1 billion — and continuing to trade. Returns have been around 15
percent.
Estimated income: $30 - $40 million

DAVID MATLIN
City: New York
Firm: MatlinPatterson Global Advisers
Age: 44

Before Jack DiMaio and his gang were running high-yield at CSFB, Matlin and his crew put the bank's high-yield group on the
map. "And these guys were better," says one distressed trader. Three years ago, Matlin left to form MatlinPatterson with former
CSFB bond trader Mark Patterson. The firm now has around $3 billion. MatlinPatterson closed its second fund last October after
raising $1.7 billion. Matlin became the talk of the town in 2003 for his involvement in leading WorldCom, now MCI, out of
bankruptcy.
Estimated income: $30 - $40 million

RAVINDER MEHRA
City: New York
Firm: Vega Asset Management
Age: 46

Vega struggled through the summer of 2004, betting wrong on rates and taking a hit in two of its best-known funds. After
experiencing draw-downs, Vega had stabilized by the end of the year. If anyone knows how to make money, though, it's Mehra,
who in 1993 produced a $1 billion profit for his then-employer, Banco Santander.
Estimated income: $30 - $40 million

ED MULE
City: Greenwich, Connecticut
Firm: Silver Point Capital
Age: 42
A distressed-debt honcho from Goldman Sachs, Mule formed Silver Point in early 2002. Recently, the multibillion-dollar fund
has been getting into middle-market lending; Silver Point helped provide bailout financing to Krispy Kreme. While at Goldman,
Mule ran a large Asian business while also trading distressed in Europe and North and South America.
Estimated income: $30 - $40 million

ALLAN TEH
City: New York
Firm: Kamating Street Capital
Age: 39

Teh left Citigroup, where he had been running an internal hedge fund, in January 2004. A stringent non-compete agreement
prevented the credit trader from taking his team of math brains with him. So instead, Teh, who hails from Malaysia, hired math
students out of top graduate programs. Kamating has already raised $600 million.
Estimated income: $30 - $40 million

SUSHIL WADHWANI
City: London
Firm: Wadhwani Capital
Age: 45

A familiar face on the London scene, Wadhwani, a former advisor to the Bank of England, launched Wadhwani Capital in 2002.
The global macro manager now has an estimated $2 billion in assets under management. Insiders say that while returns have not
yet been outstanding, "it is only really Wadhwani there," so he's garnering most of the fees himself. He has also spent time at both
Tudor Investment and Goldman Sachs.
Estimated income: $30 - $40 million

DAVID WINDREICH
City: New York
Firm: Och-Ziff Capital Management
Age: 47

powerhouse built by Dan Och, who is no longer actively trading.
Estimated income: $30 - $40 million

JEFF ARONSON
City: New York
Firm: Angelo, Gordon & Co.
Age: 46

A distressed-debt trader for the New York-based fund manager, Aronson left this past spring. A source close to Angelo, Gordon

executive says of Aronson's 2004 compensation.
Estimated income: $25 - $30 million

TODD DEUTSCH

care stock-trading prowess.

to be one of the most actively traded high-grade credit-trading accounts in the game.
Estimated income: $25 - $30 million

MARK HILLARY
City: London
Firm: Tudor Investment Corp.
Age: 40s

JIM PULASKI
City: Greenwich, Connecticut

Firm: Brevan Howard
Age: 34

when many are just scraping together their first mortgage, Rokos could retire anywhere in the world. In 2001, he supposedly
made more than $100 million in profits for the bank.

City: Greenwich, Connecticut
Firm: Lone Pine Capital
Age: 47

Another Tiger cub, Sommi is Stephen Mandel's head trader at Lone Pine. Those who know Sommi call him a fiend behind the
screen and a major factor in Lone Pine's recent success. But unlike many other former Tiger stars, Sommi has managed to avoid
the spotlight.
Estimated income: $25 - $30 million

The most public of the London Diversified team, Standing is "just a regular guy," according to those who know him. He's also an
