gestionnaire de fonds spéculatif

CONT: Le sera également Harry Markopolos, un ex-gestionnaire de fonds spéculatif qui, soupçonnant une vaste fraude, avait alerté la SEC [Securities and Exchange Commission] dès 1999 sans qu'aucune des enquêtes qu'elle avait ensuite menées n'aboutisse à la moindre mesure concernant les opérations de BMIS [Bernard L. Madoff Investment Securities].

CONT: A hedge fund manager is normally the founder and the key person in charge of overseeing the whole operation of the hedge fund. This means that he/she is responsible for overseeing the portfolio, often making trading decisions, hiring personnel, monitoring the risk of the portfolio and ensuring that the accounting and operations departments are in order.
OBS: The goal of a hedge fund manager is not to beat an index, as it is for a mutual fund manager, but to generate positive returns no matter what the market is doing.
