Little Known $4 Billion Hedge Fund’s Leveraged Bets on US Stocks

In this piece, we will take a look at a billion dollar fund’s bets on U.S. stocks. If you want to skip out on finding out who the mysterious investor is and want to skip to the top five stocks, then take a look at Top 5 Stocks of Eisler Capital.

Is playing with stocks akin to playing with fire? Well, the answer depends on who you ask, but one thing that’s for sure is that the stock market is one of the most readily available mediums through which one can become a billionaire. Getting to the top of the global wealth food chain isn’t easy. Most people become billionaires by taking huge personal and financial risks. For instance, the richest person in the world right now is Elon Musk known primarily for Tesla, Inc. (NASDAQ:TSLA) and Space Exploration Technologies Corporation (SpaceX). However, Mr. Musk wasn’t the world’s richest person in 2008 – which was one of the worst years of his life. Back then, Musk was sleeping on couches after he’d sold everything he had and plowed the money into the two companies. He would often wake up screaming at night due to the stress, showing the tremendous work that’s needed if you want to live the rest of your life without worrying about money.

However, while Mr. Musk is arguably the best known billionaire in the modern world (he has a whopping 165 million Twitter/X followers after all) others manage more money than most dream of. One such money manager is Edward Eisler of Eisler Capital. Eisler Capital is a British investment management company headquartered in London, the United Kingdom. According to Insider Monkey’s research, as of the end of the third quarter of this year, the firm’s investment portfolio was worth $15.8 billion. This value reflects all the money (borrowed and owned) that the fund has piled into stock investments, and the fund’s actual total assets under management (AUM) sit at $3.7 billion according to data from Reuters.

When compared to some other funds that focus on specific market segments such as small cap stocks or distressed debt, Eisler Capital’s investments are more diversified. The fund primarily invests in six key areas which are namely equities, assets influenced by macroeconomic indicators, bonds, credit securities, commodities, and emerging markets. As you’re likely to have understood, this provides Eisler Capital with a broad buffer against a downturn in one sector. For instance, in 2022, when the stock market was crashing, the commodities sector was roaring, to provide Eisler a nice way to buffer against any downturns.

Eisler Capital is a relatively young hedge fund since it was set up in 2012. However, like other hedge fund founders, Mr. Eisler was also a seasoned finance professional before he set up his hedge fund. He worked at the investment bank Goldman Sachs for two decades before deciding to venture into financial entrepreneurship. Setting up Eisler wasn’t initially planned to be the end of this journey as Mr. Eisler had also planned to set up another firm that would have invested in emerging markets. However, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine which saw it annex Crimea in 2014 stopped these plans.

Since then, Eisler Capital has come a long way and won several laurels as well as attracted criticism. While you might not become a billionaire as an Eisler employee, you sure can become the next best thing i.e. a multimillionaire. The fact that Eisler is a British company means that it can file its financials with the Companies House, and this data shows that in 2022, an average Eisler employee made a cool $1.2 million. Even better off was the most highly paid director, whose remuneration stood at an even cooler $4.2 million. However, these figures are far higher than the historic averages at the firm, and they come after it spent a busy 2021 expanding its employee headcount and growing its global presence.

There’s no such thing as a free lunch though, and while employees at Eisler are paid millions of dollars each year, during the six months that ended in September, 12 employees left the firm. The hedge fund had 153 employees per month on average in 2022, so if the number of departures is higher then it could easily have lost ten percent of its workforce.

With these details in mind, let’s take a look at Eisler Capital’s latest stock picks. Some notable names are NVIDIA Corporation (NASDAQ:NVDA), Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), and Wells Fargo & Company (NYSE:WFC).

AI, Tariffs, Nuclear Power: One Undervalued Stock Connects ALL the Dots (Before It Explodes!)

Artificial intelligence is the greatest investment opportunity of our lifetime. The time to invest in groundbreaking AI is now, and this stock is a steal!

AI is eating the world—and the machines behind it are ravenous.

Each ChatGPT query, each model update, each robotic breakthrough consumes massive amounts of energy. In fact, AI is already pushing global power grids to the brink.

Wall Street is pouring hundreds of billions into artificial intelligence—training smarter chatbots, automating industries, and building the digital future. But there’s one urgent question few are asking:

Where will all of that energy come from?

AI is the most electricity-hungry technology ever invented. Each data center powering large language models like ChatGPT consumes as much energy as a small city. And it’s about to get worse.

Even Sam Altman, the founder of OpenAI, issued a stark warning:

“The future of AI depends on an energy breakthrough.”

Elon Musk was even more blunt:

“AI will run out of electricity by next year.”

As the world chases faster, smarter machines, a hidden crisis is emerging behind the scenes. Power grids are strained. Electricity prices are rising. Utilities are scrambling to expand capacity.

And that’s where the real opportunity lies…

One little-known company—almost entirely overlooked by most AI investors—could be the ultimate backdoor play. It’s not a chipmaker. It’s not a cloud platform. But it might be the most important AI stock in the US owns critical energy infrastructure assets positioned to feed the coming AI energy spike.

As demand from AI data centers explodes, this company is gearing up to profit from the most valuable commodity in the digital age: electricity.

The “Toll Booth” Operator of the AI Energy Boom

  • It owns critical nuclear energy infrastructure assets, positioning it at the heart of America’s next-generation power strategy.
  • It’s one of the only global companies capable of executing large-scale, complex EPC (engineering, procurement, and construction) projects across oil, gas, renewable fuels, and industrial infrastructure.
  • It plays a pivotal role in U.S. LNG exportation—a sector about to explode under President Trump’s renewed “America First” energy doctrine.

Trump has made it clear: Europe and U.S. allies must buy American LNG.

And our company sits in the toll booth—collecting fees on every drop exported.

But that’s not all…

As Trump’s proposed tariffs push American manufacturers to bring their operations back home, this company will be first in line to rebuild, retrofit, and reengineer those facilities.

AI. Energy. Tariffs. Onshoring. This One Company Ties It All Together.

While the world is distracted by flashy AI tickers, a few smart investors are quietly scooping up shares of the one company powering it all from behind the scenes.

AI needs energy. Energy needs infrastructure.

And infrastructure needs a builder with experience, scale, and execution.

This company has its finger in every pie—and Wall Street is just starting to notice.

Wall Street is noticing this company also because it is quietly riding all of these tailwinds—without the sky-high valuation.

While most energy and utility firms are buried under mountains of debt and coughing up hefty interest payments just to appease bondholders…

This company is completely debt-free.

In fact, it’s sitting on a war chest of cash—equal to nearly one-third of its entire market cap.

It also owns a huge equity stake in another red-hot AI play, giving investors indirect exposure to multiple AI growth engines without paying a premium.

And here’s what the smart money has started whispering…

The Hedge Fund Secret That’s Starting to Leak Out

This stock is so off-the-radar, so absurdly undervalued, that some of the most secretive hedge fund managers in the world have begun pitching it at closed-door investment summits.

They’re sharing it quietly, away from the cameras, to rooms full of ultra-wealthy clients.

Why? Because excluding cash and investments, this company is trading at less than 7 times earnings.

And that’s for a business tied to:

  • The AI infrastructure supercycle
  • The onshoring boom driven by Trump-era tariffs
  • A surge in U.S. LNG exports
  • And a unique footprint in nuclear energy—the future of clean, reliable power

You simply won’t find another AI and energy stock this cheap… with this much upside.

This isn’t a hype stock. It’s not riding on hope.

It’s delivering real cash flows, owns critical infrastructure, and holds stakes in other major growth stories.

This is your chance to get in before the rockets take off!

Disruption is the New Name of the Game: Let’s face it, complacency breeds stagnation.

AI is the ultimate disruptor, and it’s shaking the foundations of traditional industries.

The companies that embrace AI will thrive, while the dinosaurs clinging to outdated methods will be left in the dust.

As an investor, you want to be on the side of the winners, and AI is the winning ticket.

The Talent Pool is Overflowing: The world’s brightest minds are flocking to AI.

From computer scientists to mathematicians, the next generation of innovators is pouring its energy into this field.

This influx of talent guarantees a constant stream of groundbreaking ideas and rapid advancements.

By investing in AI, you’re essentially backing the future.

The future is powered by artificial intelligence, and the time to invest is NOW.

Don’t be a spectator in this technological revolution.

Dive into the AI gold rush and watch your portfolio soar alongside the brightest minds of our generation.

This isn’t just about making money – it’s about being part of the future.
