Haidar Capital Management
Haidar Capital Management is a discretionary global macro hedge fund that bets on macroeconomic shifts around the world. Founded in 1997, the firm has built its reputation on a high-risk, high-reward macroeconomic strategy. Unlike many hedge funds that prioritize steady returns for risk-averse clients such as pension funds, Haidar’s approach emphasises substantial gains but carries high volatility. The firm has quantitative research and investment experience through full-market cycles, successfully navigating the economy to capture alpha.
