Its not common to see articles use the word "trader" very strongly in its title instead of the words "fund manager" because in the industry when we say the word "trader"...we are often talking about "retail traders" instead of "fund managers". In contrast, Chris Rokos is a fund manager that has had prior stints at top institutional firms. In fact, I remember a rare interview back in 2010 when someone referred to him as a "trader" and the guy had a stunned look on his face and replied..."I'm a fund manager". Note: Between the old fund (Brevan Howard) and this new fund...he did trade his own money out of his personal account...doing very well too as a professional trader for several years but very few knows what he was trading. My guess he's been trading what he knows best...fixed income and swaps. Maybe that's why the article refers frequently to him as a "trader" based upon his recent few years trading from his own personal account instead of managing a fund. I wonder how he escaped that 2018 agreement that prevented him from starting a new fund and managing folks money. Then again, its well known about his political connections with some of the most powerful folks in the UK. He's one of the best and there were only a few back then ranked above him in Europe. I hope he continues using those crazy "risk control measures" that were used at his old fund Brevan Howard.
