Michael Steinhardt Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Michael H. Steinhardt (created December 7, 1940) is an American hedge fund supervisor, financier, investor, newspaper publisher, and philanthropist active in Jewish causes. He was among the first leading hedge fund managers, and is a graduate of the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. He founded Steinhardt, Great, Berkowitz & Co., a hedge fund, in 1967. He’s “a legend in the narrative of hedge funds, partially due to his success as a dealer but also due to his character.”
In 1967, using gains from his investments, Steinhardt founded the hedge fund Steinhardt, Great, and Berkowitz (after Steinhardt Partners) with co-investors William Salomon, former managing partner of Salomon Brothers and Jack Nash, creator of Odyssey Partners. After decades of successfully handling the fund, Steinhardt and his company were investigated for supposedly attempting to control the short term Treasury Note marketplace in the early 1990s. His company made $600 million on the Treasury places. In “No Bull,” Steinhardt said he did nothing wrong, but just settled the case in order to “move on.” Following an adverse performance in his hedge fund in 1994, Steinhardt Partners loved an outstanding 1995, with performance consistent with its historical record. The hedge fund shut and doled out all cash to its limited partners by the end of 1995, leaving Steinhardt himself quite rich and extremely fluid. In 2004, Steinhardt came from retirement to work for Index Development Partners, Inc., now known as WisdomTree Investments. He’s chairman of WisdomTree, which offers dividend and earnings-based index funds rather than conventional index funds according to market capitalization. Throughout the autumn of 2007 and 2008, Wisdom Tree’s growth stagnated, as the stock exchange, particularly the fiscal sector, where Wisdom Tree’s dividend-established funds are over weighted, tanked, as did Wisdomtree’s stock. Nevertheless, in recent months, as the Wisdom Tree funds tended to outperform their “bogies,” strength increase restarted its earlier rate and its own stock price appreciated properly.
