Bobby Jain is the CEO and CIO of Jain Global, a global multi-strategy hedge fund he launched last year that manages about $6 billion with over 350 employees. Bobby’s storied Wall Street career includes spending seven years as the Co-CIO of Millenium and twenty at Credit Suisse in a range of leadership roles spanning proprietary trading, derivatives, and asset management.
Our conversation traces Bobby’s path
from growing up as the son of immigrants in
Queens to the trading floors of O’Connor and Credit
Suisse, all of which shaped
his thoughtful, framework-driven perspectives
on markets. We explore the evolution of prop trading
and the migration of risk taking from banks to hedge
funds, proprietary trading firms, and private credit.
We then discuss Bobby’s ambitious launch, including the
principles guiding its design, scale and diversification
out of the gate, talent strategy, risk
management, portfolio
construction, and the many tradeoffs that
create the different cultures and
complexions of multi-manager hedge
funds. We close with Bobby’s application
of financial innovation to helping others.
