Izzy Englander (Semi) Full Frontal
If you have a hedge fund in dire need of some managed account TLC, call this man (and get ready for daily multi-hour explanations on why you put "this or that" trade to people who have yet to complete remedial math); if you have a strategy to front run mutual funds which may or may not end amicably with the SEC in the form of a few hundred dollar settlement, call this man; if you are in the market for some barely occupied property at 740 park, call this man; If you are a CDS trader with special Deutsche Bank sales coverage connections, call this man; if you work for RenTec and feel like borrowing some of their strategies and making a mint, call this man (by the time you get the non-compete subpoena you will be sitting on a beach, earning 20%).
All you need to know about the man who heads the big quant shop, er pardon hedge fund, at the soon to be bankrupt 666 Fifth.

Was that a hint ZH? Are we just following the market making timeline of old? or just trying to make monday's more clearer.
Merry Holidays Everybody!
What's with the hate? Izzy has a good track record, and he personally has not been implicated in any Millennium scandals. Sure, he drives a hard deal with his traders and has a hair trigger to fire. (He fired me once. I made money "too fast" thus his instinct was that there was hidden risk. We are still friends.)
But his investors have received Madoff-like returns from a firm that's not engaging in fraud. He's built a money making machine the old-fashioned way - friggin' hard work and disciplined risk control.
Crap post. why do you say he is going bankrupt? I spent some time with Izzy, and he is not an arrogant guy - -rather quite humble and manages his business like all trading firms should - - TIGHT risk control and unacceptance of people making trades/taking risk that is out of line from what they said would happen. His track record speaks for itself.
By the way Tyler - your record with the SEC is far far worse than Izzy ----he has not been banned from the business like yourself.
Yeah, why're they about to be bankrupt ? Tried to do some research on this but nothing came up ...
