Who Is He to Give a Trading Tip?

Paul Tudor Jones II (born September 28, 1954) is an American investor, hedge fund manager, and philanthropist. In 1980, he founded his hedge fund, Tudor Investment Corporation, an asset management firm headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut.  Soon after, he created the Tudor Group, a hedge fund holding company that specializes in fixed income, currencies, equities, and commodities.

Jones was born in Memphis, Tennessee. He attended the University of Virginia, earning an undergraduate degree in economics in 1976.

In 1976, he started working on the trading floors as a clerk and then became a broker for E. F. Hutton & Co. In 1980, he went strictly on his own for two and a half profitable years, before he “really got bored”. He then applied to Harvard Business School, was accepted, and packed to go when the idea occurred to him that: “this is crazy, because for what I’m doing here, they’re not going to teach me anything. This skill set is not something that they teach in business school.”

What Did He Do Then?

In 1980, Jones founded Tudor Investment Corporation, an asset management firm.  The investment strategies of the Tudor Group include, among others, discretionary global macro, quantitative global macro (managed futures), discretionary equity long/short (i.e. pair trading), quantitative equity market neutral (i.e. pairs trading) and growth equity.

How Did Pair Trading (and other strategies) Do For Him?

As of February 2017, Forbes Magazine estimated his net worth to be US$4.7 billion, making him the 120th richest person on the Forbes 400 and the 22nd highest-earning hedge fund manager.  He is known for his large-scale philanthropy and, eight years after founding his hedge fund, he founded the Robin Hood Foundation, which focuses on poverty reduction.
