Standard Hedge Fund Naming Rule #3 – Impressive or Stately-Sounding Names

Lastly is hedge fund names that may not mean much, but they sure sound cool or dependable. Good examples are Robert Pitts’ Steadfast Capital Management, Steve Shapiro’s Intrepid Capital Management, and Richard C. Patton’s Courage Capital.

Trees are also a popular choice for hedge fund names and icons, doubtless for the strength and stability they represent, not to mention all that other juicy tree goodness that can be twisted into half-baked investment philosophising like letting your investments take “root”, and watering your portfolio so its branches grow strong. Stephen Mandel’s Lone Pine Capital, Fir Tree, founded by Jeffrey Tannenbaum, and Howard Marks’ Oaktree Capital Management are just a few of the tree hugging funds.

Some hedge funds take a literal approach to naming, asserting their investment philosophy right in their name. There’s Glenn W. Welling’s Engaged Capital (an activist fund that “engages” the management teams of companies), James A. Star‘s Longview Asset Management, and Tim Curro’s Value Holdings LP. For those aspiring hedge fund managers without much in the way of a philosophy, Throwing a Dart at a Dartboard LLC is still available.
