Stanley Druckenmiller Duquesne Family Office
Stanley Druckenmiller is the founder of Duquesne Family Office and one of the most closely watched macro investors of his generation. He first became widely known as lead portfolio manager of the Quantum Fund alongside George Soros, including during the famous 1992 bet against the British pound. After returning outside capital, he has continued to invest with a flexible, top-down approach that blends macroeconomic views with concentrated equity and commodity positions.
