When George Soros rented a new office by Manhattan’s Central Park in 1973 for his four-year-old hedge fund, he and his fellow “hedgies” were the lone gunslingers of modern capitalism. Shooting wild bets on little more than a hunch, funds lived – and died – fast. No longer. Over the past four decades Mr Soros’s fund has grown from $4m to $25bn, but he is now the grand old man of a maturing industry in which lone gunmen are no longer welcome.
