Hugh Hendry

Hugh Hendry is a writer, risk-taker, and thought leader on global capital markets. In 2002 he founded Eclectica Asset Management, a hedge fund that delivered uncorrelated returns to clients for over a decade. His prescience in anticipating the Great Financial Crisis of 2008 earned him a reputation as a prophetic iconoclast.

Despite stepping back from active fund management, Hendry remains an influential voice in finance, leveraging his deep understanding of market dynamics and his contrarian mindset to provide a unique perspective on economic developments as the Acid Capitalist. Hendry now resides in St. Barts, where he is a leading investor in luxury real estate.
