Standard Hedge Fund Naming Rule #2 – Places/Things of Personal Import

This certainly beats naming a fund after yourself, while still injecting a little bit of your personality or history into your name. In terms of investing history, we see a number of ‘Tiger Cubs’ who worked under Tiger Management’s Julian Robertson, proudly carry on the Tiger name with their own hedge funds. Benjamin Gambill’s Tiger Eye Capital, Chase Coleman’s Tiger Global Management, and Jesse Ro’s Tiger Legatus Capital are just three.

Places are commonly used in hedge fund names, including Bill Ackman’s Pershing Square, which is named after a Manhattan intersection of the same name, and Peter Franklin Palmedo’s Sun Valley Gold, which is based in Sun Valley, Idaho and invests in rubber bands stocks; or maybe it was gold stocks, I forget. There’s also Scott Ferguson’s Sachem Head Capital, which is named after a nature spot in Highland Park, Massachusetts and not after Special Head, that creepy magician who was on America’s Got Talent.

Personal interests can also fuel hedge fund names. Paul Sinclair has been the founder of two hedge funds, Expo Capital Management and Blue Jay Capital Management, which any baseball fan (all 11,292 of them) would recognize as being named after Canada’s two MLB teams, the Montreal Expos (now the Washington Nationals) and the Toronto Blue Jays (who made the playoffs for the first time in 22 painful years in 2015).
