>Billionaire investor Scott Bessent,
Beware. He once worked for Soros. Then went out on his own and got 2B from Soros.
Bessent interned with Jim Rogers.[11] After graduation, Bessent worked at Brown Brothers Harriman, Kynikos Associates (Jim Chanos), and others.[12] Bessent joined Soros Fund Management (SFM) in 1991 and was a partner there throughout the 1990s, eventually becoming the head of the London office.[6][2][13][14][15] In 1992, Bessent was a leading member of the team whose bet regarding the collapse of the British pound garnered over $1 billion for the firm. His bet against the Japanese yen in 2013 brought additional profit.[16][17]
Bessent founded Key Square Group in 2015 with Michael Germino, who had been the global head of capital markets at SFM.[21] Key Square uses geopolitics and economics to make macro investments.[16] Key Square received a $2 billion anchor investment from George Soros.[22] At the end of 2017, Key Square's assets were $5.1 billion.[22][23] Bloomberg in May 2018 reported that Key Square had mostly outperformed rival macro managers and continued to generate significant investor interest.[22] As part of a pre-arranged deal, the firm returned the Soros capital as it took in other assets.[22] Its investors include Australia's sovereign wealth fund.[23]
