There were 2 threads on her (she has a math and accounting degree) and I can't find the other one, it might got deleted when ET had its problems. Anyway, I have found another Karen, and boy I am in love: http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2007/sep/09/features.woman5 "She's worth $100m, runs a $400m hedge fund, has two sets of twins and four nannies" "Karen Finerman, of Metropolitan Capital in New York, is actually willing to crack open the secretive, testosterone-rich world of the hedge-fund manager. She is 42, and began her hedge fund 15 years ago. It was then worth $4m; now it is worth $400m. She lives in a vast apartment on the Upper East Side, earns some $5m a year...." "Metropolitan Capital's return has been more than respectable: an average 15 per cent return over 15 years in an industry where a lot of funds disappear in a year" "The fund is about $400m in assets and a big chunk of it is my partner's and my money."
I know that it was the single greatest driver of PNL for his firm. My brother was involved in his last debacle, which I told you in the past. Are you disputing that the vast majority of his gains and the blowups were caused by shorting puts?! Sure, he took small directional bets, but the lion's share of PNL was shorting index puts. You want to to make the guy out as some sort of discretionary Jim Simons which is ridiculous.
hahaha, the vast majority of her NW is from her husband who runs Golub Capital. You guy's just eat-up the CNBC propaganda. Finerman's fund has never reported performance and the metrocap fund AUM is <$100MM. The Guardian needs to do some fact-checking.
