Tiger Cub David Gerstenhaber: The economist whose passion for markets began at age 14

David Gerstenhaber was one of the first "Tiger Cubs", a term for hedge fund managers who started on their own after having worked at Julian Robertson's legendary Tiger Investment Management (*).

Gerstenhaber is a trained economist and runs today the hedge fund Argonaut Capital Management. In this Opalesque.TV BACKSTAGE interview, Gerstenhaber, who started trading stocks at the age of 14, explains his approach of Global Macro investing, and what gives his firm an edge in the highly competitive hedge fund industry.
