Hedge Fund - Eton Park Capital

Eric Mindich founded Eton Park Capital in 2004 after spending 15 years at Goldman Sachs, where he cut his professional teeth in equities risk arbitrage and equities division management. In his time there, Eric Mindich emerged as a master of merger arbitrage. His insights helped Goldman Sachs earn so much revenue that they were forced to make him partner; Mindich was just 27 at the time, making him the youngest partner in Goldman Sachs's history.

Mindich a.k.a. “Wall Street’s Doogie Howser,” was able to parlay his successes into his own successful hedge fund. In fact, when Mindich founded Eton Park, the hedge fund was over $3 billion. In spite of the size of Eton Park, Mindich keeps his clientele list very exclusive, requiring a minimum $5 million investment. He is also very strategic, focusing on long/short equity strategies, selective private investments and a focus on merger arbitrage, his speciality. In just 7 years, he has almost tripled the size of the Eton Park Capital hedge fund, thanks largely to his merger sensibilities.
