David Gerstenhaber was one of the first "Tiger Cubs," a term for hedge fund managers who started on their own after having worked at Julian Robertson's legendary Tiger Investment Management. Gerstenhaber is a trained economist and runs the hedge fund Argonaut Capital Management today.
David started investing at the age of 14. Here he explains his approach to global macro investing and what gives his firm an edge in the highly competitive hedge fund industry. Argonaut Macro Partnership LP has never had a down year since its founding in 2000 and has averaged an annual return of 16%, including a 12.3% gain in the otherwise disastrous 2008.
