Folger Hill
Folger Hill Asset Management announced a merger with Schonfeld Strategic Advisors. The deal will create a new company called Leucadia Asset Management. Former SAC Capital CEO Solomon Kumin will become chief strategy officer. In addition, Folger Hill Asia’s CEO Angus Wai will remain in his position as CEO. The merger will also add non-investment professionals and experienced portfolio management teams to both firms. It is expected to close in the second half of this year, subject to custom closing conditions and regulatory approval.
Folger Hill Asset Management is a hedge fund manager with over $1 billion in assets under management. The firm has offices in New York, Hong Kong, and Singapore. It has almost a hundred full-time employees. The founders of Folger Hill Asset Management include Sol Kumin, who spent 10 years at SAC Capital.
Schonfeld Strategic Advisors
After several years of struggling to earn returns, Folger Hill Asset Management has announced that it has agreed to merge with Schonfeld Strategic Advisors. The merger will create a single investment management firm with roughly $20 billion in assets. It is expected to close in the second half of 2018 and will be subject to regulatory and custom closing conditions. The merger will create jobs for both firms’ employees and will create a new fund that focuses on fundamental equities.
Schonfeld Strategic Advisors was founded by Steven Schonfeld in 1998 as a family office and later expanded its investment program to attract outside investors. This investment program resulted in substantial asset growth for the firm. Schonfeld also serves as the Non-Executive Chairman of the firm and provides general guidance for firm initiatives. He holds a B.A. in business administration from Emory University and has been managing hedge fund investments since 1998.
Leucadia asset management
The newly acquired Folger Hill Asset Management unit has already undergone several changes since the firm launched its Asia-based fund in November. Leucadia previously sought to buy another stake in Folger Hill to diversify its investor base. However, the process has been suspended as it will require a fresh capital outlay. It is currently home to 11 portfolio managers in the U.S. and five in Asia.
Leucadia is a diversified financial services firm that engages in investment banking and capital markets. It also has a diversified portfolio of companies, including real estate, financial services and merchant banking. Its investments include an oil and gas production company and a beef processing firm. Its other businesses include Jefferies, FXCM, Berkadia, Foursight Capital, and Vitesse Energy.
Schonfeld’s global fundamental equities fund
After nearly two decades of investing in global equity markets, Schonfeld is adding a new product to his portfolio: a global fundamental equities fund. Leucadia Asset Management, which is backed by Folger Hill, will invest in the fund. The fund will be led by Schonfeld, who has managed money for about $20 billion since 1988.
The fund charges a management fee of 2% and a 20% performance fee. However, investors will have no exit fees if they withdraw their money at any time. This fund is a great fit for those who want to make a big bet.
