About Me

One of Wall Street's macro-trading legends, Louis Bacon cut his teeth as a commodities and currencies trader, earning big profits in the 1987 crash. He created hedge fund Moore Capital in 1989 using trading profits and a small inheritance. Bacon announced he was closing his hedge fund and returning outside investors' money in November 2019, citing years of "disappointing results." Moore Capital still manages internal money and scored 70% returns in 2020 for Bacon and his employees.
