Standard Hedge Fund Naming Rule #1 – Naming the Fund After Yourself

While eponymous hedge fund naming does take a certain level of bravado, let’s be honest: this is for those who have simply given up on coming up with a more interesting name. Your fund’s name would almost certainly be unique, but it would also be devoid of zing, zip, zest, and any other Z-word that connotes a non-boring name.

Hedge funds named after their founders abound, from Carl Icahn‘s Icahn Capital, to George Soros’ Soros Fund Management, to John Paulson’s Paulson & Co. There’s also Stark Investments, which is not betting on the Starks winning the Game of Thrones, but rather is an investment firm founded by Brian Stark.

Somewhat more unique cases of eponymous naming are found in funds managed by multiple family members or people, as is the case with Julian Baker and Felix Baker’s Baker Bros. Advisors, and Kahn Brothers, founded by Irving Kahn and his sons Alan Kahn and Thomas Graham Kahn. There’s also Vollero Beach Capital Partners, which you’d think was named after an actual beach, but is instead just the mashed together last names of its founders Robert Vollero and Gentry T. Beach. And now let’s see the rule number two when trying to come up with good names for investment companies.
