Get in at the ground floor.

Ex-Goldman Sachs Group proprietary traders Bennett Grau and Mark Mallon are teaming up with former colleague Marc Mezvinsky to start a hedge fund, according to a person with knowledge of their plans. The three are raising money for their new firm, Eaglevale Partners LP, which plans to start trading in the first half of 2012, said the person, who asked not to be identified because the information is private. The fund will employ a global macro strategy, seeking to profit from economic trends by trading securities from bonds to commodities.

    according to the prospectus, the strategy will be based on "…currying favors from current and former GS alumni in government so as to be invited to front-running sessions on how to dump preferred shares of GSE's on to unsuspecting widows and orphans just before said alums vaporize the latter's retirement…:

    "The fund will employ a global macro strategy, seeking to profit from economic trends by trading securities from bonds to commodities."

    What a great idea! Why hasn't anyone else thought of that?

    Wasn't he an ibanker at GS? Now he is going to run a global macro fund . I hope his asshole is well lubed.

    He also worked at 3G, an equities value fund. I can't believe you think he is not qualified to trade global macro.

    He was in G7 rates sales and then EM sales at Goldman. He definitely has had plenty of exposure to macro. That said, would this launch get much press were it not for the wife? Probably not.

    Unless you'd like time away from your lovely wife, take it from me and stay off the Lariam.

    No I don't think he marred her at all. She was born with her face that way.

    Being in rate sales/EM sales != being a competent PM.

    Dude was my sales coverage for a year. Loved to talk about pretty whacked out macro-oriented derivatives ideas. We'll see if one can make a fund out of ZAR/gold vs Libor-OIS correlation swaps and suchlike…

    omg this guy looks like such a criminal

    I didn't know that Becky Quick doubled as Chelsea Clinton.

    And I am certain that her relationship with Warren will spur many great investment ideas for her hubby's new hedge fund.

    It is a win-win.

    This is true.

    Cool, hopefully he'll do well enough to afford a trim and a shave. But no better.
