• Hedge Fund Tracking: Thiel's Clarium Capital, Q3 2008

  (Tue, 18 Nov 2008 07:14:01 -0500)

  Market Folly submits:

  The second fund in the 3rd quarter edition of our 2008 hedge fund tracking series is Clarium Capital Management, LLC. Clarium is a $6 billion global macro hedge fund run by Peter Thiel, the co-founder of PayPal. 2008 has been a roller coaster year for Thiel and company. Earlier in the year, they were up over 45%. But, as market volatility increased, they began to give back their gains and now find themselves -2.8% for the year. This was in part due to a rough October, in which they were down 18% for the month,...

• Hedge Fund Tracking: Clarium Capital

  (Mon, 18 Aug 2008 16:16:32 -0400)

  Market Folly submits:

  Four times a year, hedge funds & asset managers with > $100 million AUM (assets under management) are required to report to the SEC their holdings from the previous quarter. I check these 13F filings quarterly just to get a sense as to where these funds are putting their money sector wise. If you just sit down and do some simple number crunching between last quarter's 13F and this quarter's 13F, you can see exactly where these funds have been moving their money.
