Paul Tudor Jones II (born September 28, 1954), is the founder of Tudor Investment Corporation, a private asset management company and hedge fund. As of March 2014, he was estimated to have a net worth of US$4.3 billion by ''Forbes'' Magazine and ranked as the 108th richest American and 345th richest in the world.〔 He founded the Robin Hood Foundation in 1988, which focuses on poverty reduction. ==Beginnings and professional life== Jones was born in Memphis, Tennessee. He graduated from Presbyterian Day School, an all-boys elementary school, before attending Memphis University School for high school. Jones then went on to the University of Virginia, earning an undergraduate degree in economics in 1976 as well as welterweight boxing championship. He was also president of the Sigma Alpha Epsilon fraternity. In 1976, he started working on the trading floors as a clerk and then became a broker for E. F. Hutton & Co. In 1980, he went strictly on his own for two and a half profitable years, before he "really got bored". He then applied to Harvard Business School, was accepted, and packed to go when the idea occurred to him that: "this is crazy, because for what I'm doing here, they're not going to teach me anything. This skill set is not something that they teach in business school." William Dunavant, Jr., Jones' cousin and CEO of ''Dunavant Enterprises'', one of the world's largest cotton merchants, introduced Jones to commodity broker Eli Tullis. Tullis hired Jones and mentored him in trading cotton futures at the New York Stock Exchange. Jones later said of Tullis: He was the toughest son of a bitch I ever knew. He taught me that trading is very competitive and you have to be able to handle getting your butt kicked. No matter how you cut it, there are enormous emotional ups and downs involved. In 1980, Jones founded ''Tudor Investment Corporation'', an asset management firm headquartered in Greenwich, Connecticut. ''The Tudor Group'', consisting of ''Tudor Investment Corporation'' and its affiliates, is involved in active trading, investing, and research in assets across fixed income, currencies, equities, and commodities asset classes and related derivative and other instruments in the global markets for an international clientele. The investment strategies of the Tudor Group include, among others, discretionary global macro, quantitative global macro (managed futures), discretionary equity long/short, quantitative equity market neutral and growth equity. One of Jones' earliest and major successes was predicting Black Monday in 1987, tripling his money during the event due to large short positions. Peter Borish was second-in-command to and the right-hand man of Jones at Tudor Investment Corporation, which Borish joined in 1985 and left in 1994. Jones said Borish anticipated the crash in 1987 because Borish had mapped the 1987 market against the market preceding the 1929 crash, and noted the similarity between the two markets. Jones previously served as a director of the Futures Industry Association and was instrumental in the creation and development of an education-arm for the association—the then Futures Industry Institute, a research institute later renamed the Institute for Financial Markets based in Washington D.C. Mr. Jones was also an advocate for the design and implementation of the first ethics training course that became the standard for exchange membership on all futures exchanges in the United States. Jones is a member of Kappa Beta Phi. In February 2013, Forbes Magazine listed him as one of the 40 Highest-Earning hedge fund managers. Although the hedge fund industry standard is two percent per annum of assets under management and twenty percent of the profits, Tudor Investment Corp. charges four percent per annum of assets under management and twenty-three percent of the profits. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Paul Tudor Jones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
