Tomorrow's Titans - Fifty Rising Stars 2024 The Hedge Fund Journal (Page 20) JAMES PRUSKOWSKI formed the 16Rock Asset Management company in 2023 with 16th Amendment Advisors LLC, which was incorporated in 2009 by Jed McCarthy and John Lee and runs multiple award-winning municipal bonds funds. In August 2023, the 16Rock Municipal Opportunities Fund LP was launched with capital of USD 5.1 million and the firm has grown to USD 233 million as of June 2024. The LP’s active, unconstrained, absolute return strategy aims to deliver all weather returns and is agnostic to US tax exempt benefits. It mainly focuses on investment grade opportunities in the USD 4 trillion municipal bond infrastructure asset class. In this fragmented market, supply, demand and public policy regularly throw up dislocations. Strategies include fundamental credit sector and security selection, secondary flow trading including new issues and technical events, basis between taxable munis, tax exempt munis, and treasuries; capital structure arbitrage and optionality. Leverage can be used and duration, yield curve and tail risks can be hedged. Pruskowski was previously managing director and CIO of municipal bonds, Institutional & Wealth Management at BlackRock, where his career began in 1994 in Risk & Quantitative Analytics and multi-sector taxable fixed-income portfolio Management. Pruskowski has a BS in Business Management from Fairleigh Dickinson University. https://lnkd.in/e2UPX__B #municipalbonds #hedgefunds #lps #allocators #performance

Bill Ackman is gearing up to launch a NYSE-listed fund, and it's causing a stir. 1. This fund is set to be one of the largest ever, offering regular investors like you and me a chance to get in on the action. 2. Unlike typical hedge funds that demand hefty minimum investments ($100,000 to Millions), Ackman's fund breaks the mold by having no minimum investment. That's a game-changer for retail investors looking to dive into high-quality investments without breaking the bank.#AckmanFund #InvestingForEveryone #AccessibleInvesting
