Hedge Fund - 683 Capital Partners

683 Capital Partners is a secretive hedge fund based out of New York. The fund and its founder Ari Zweiman have done an excellent job of shielding themselves from coverage in mainstream financial media and the unnecessary performance pressure it brings. When a fund delivers outsized returns to its investors, the mainstream media pushes it to the pedestal only to take a jibe at it in years of underperformance. 683 Capital Partners was founded by Mr. Zweiman in 2006, and as of March this year, the fund managed assets worth close to $3 billion but had only three clients. Mr. Zweiman got his undergraduate degree from Yale University. He followed it up by getting a masters in economics from Stanford University and a Juris Doctor degree (J.D.) from Harvard Law School in 1999. Before founding 683 Capital Partners, Mr. Zweiman worked at several financial institutions.
