Each quarter, our research team reviews investment firms that have filed a 13F with the SEC for the first time and selects firms to include in the Novus Hedge Fund Universe “HFU.” The HFU is a composite portfolio of over 1,500 historical institutions deemed to be active managers. The majority are hedge funds, with some highly active long-only managers. In this report, we’ve listed 66 active managers who began filing in the last few quarters. While this list is not comprehensive, it focuses on fund managers from prominent hedge fund lineages (such as Citadel, P72 / SAC, and Millennium) or unique specializations. We’ve also highlighted seven managers with interesting backgrounds.
