Philippe Jabre is one of Europe’s most famous hedge fund managers. Jabre established his reputation as an inspired investor and risk taker in London from the mid-eighties to the late-nineties.
In 1997, Philippe Jabre joined the hedge fund GLG, which was only 2 years old then. He stayed with the fund, eventually becoming the managing director and making quite a name for himself as a risk taker, possibly unnecessarily large risks. Taking these risks brought him under investigation by the UK Financial Services Authority. While he was eventually cleared of market abuse, Jabre still faced a large fine and was placed on leave from GLG. Philippe Jabre used the time off to establish Jabre Capital in 2006, after his non-compete agreement with GLG expired.
Since then, Jabre has won two EuroHedge awards for his performance for his Jabre Capital, including a “Fund of the Year” award.
