Congratulations to our very own Head of Alpha Strategies and Portfolio Manager Jeffrey Park, CFA for being recognized as one of Institutional Investor’s 2024 Hedge Fund Rising Stars. Jeff is part of an elite group of seven up-and-comers that will be honored at the Hedge Fund Industry Awards on June 26. “After graduating in 2008, Park joined the New York trading floor of Morgan Stanley — just in time for the financial crisis. When he discovered the existence of Bitcoin two years later, he says, “I fell in love with the idea. I already had a sense that most of the financial systems that I’ve now got to see upfront was not as robust or anti-fragile as we would all have liked to believe.” Park first invested his personal wealth in Bitcoin in 2013, when he was working at the Harvard Management Company as part of Jack Meyer’s internal hedge fund. Harvard did not invest directly in crypto, but Park got a chance to do that at Corbin Capital, where he worked for 10 years after leaving Harvard. At Corbin, he spearheaded the digital assets investing effort in 2017 and became a partner. Park says he wanted to be at a firm that focused on crypto full-time and joined the $4 billion Bitwise in 2022. The timing was auspicious, given that crypto was headed for a huge downturn that year. But Park had been through its ups and downs before. And while its institutional adoption went nowhere for two years, the regulatory approval of several crypto exchange-traded funds has cracked the door open slightly.” Read more of Jeff’s story: https://lnkd.in/gke3YNJb
