George Soros Soros Fund Management
George Soros is the founder of Soros Fund Management and one of the most famous macro investors in modern markets. He is best known for large global bets informed by his theory of reflexivity, including the 1992 sterling trade. Though the firm later evolved as a family office, its equity filings and historical track record remain a reference point for students of macro and activist-era hedge funds.
