Questions on Hedge Fund Claiming to be 100% Run by Women
Pacific Alternative Asset Management Company claims to be a hedge fund firm controlled entirely by women. Now, it appears that S. Donald Sussman has been at least partly the man behind the hedge fund. According to the Times, Pacific Alternative Asset Management Company may have been disguising parts of the business from regulators and partners.
Amid the testosterone-fueled trading floors of Wall Street, Ms. Buchan has not only built a hugely successful hedge fund investment firm but also one that is, on paper, owned and run by women.
But questions have surfaced about whether her firm, Pacific Alternative Asset Management Company, is now — or ever was — controlled by women at all.
It turns out that S. Donald Sussman, a hedge fund mogul who has bankrolled some of the biggest (male) names in the business, has quietly stood behind Paamco for years, pocketing much of its profit. A recent court ruling officially put a chunk of Paamco’s parent company in his hands.
Equally troubling is the suggestion that Paamco, which collects tens of millions of dollars in fees annually to vet hedge funds for pension funds and other clients, disguised aspects of its own business from its customers, partners and federal regulators. Source
