History
GCM was founded in July 1994 by Kenneth Tropin. [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Prior to this, Tropin was president and CEO of John W. Henry & Company, a commodities trading firm established by John W. Henry. [2] [3] [7] In 1993, after Tropin parted ways with Henry, Paul Tudor Jones, a friend of Tropin encouraged him to start his own hedge fund and provided initial capital as a strategic investor. [2] [3] The early strategies were Systematic trend following. [2] [3] [5]
In 1998, the firm began recruiting discretionary portfolio managers to diversify the firm's trading strategies. Then the firm launched Proprietary Matrix, a portfolio which provides broad exposure to Graham's quantitative finance and discretionary trading strategies. [2] [3] [7]
In November 2007, Graham enhanced its risk management procedures and started holding daily risk management meetings which is still continued to this day. [2] [4] [5] [7]
