In December 2012, he launched the Perlman Family Office after ten years of running Scottwood Capital Management, the top-rated hedge fund firm he founded in 2001.
Edward Perlman started Scottwood in a small Park Avenue office in New York City. With good investment performance and strong support from close friends and clients who invested capital in the fund during his first year, he built Scottwood into a firm with more than $980 million in assets under management and 15 employees. His 10-year track record of approximately 12% net annualized gains compared to a flat return for the stock market and a 6% annual gain by hedge funds. In 2011, he gave back all of his external investors' capital.
Adam Weiss helped start Scottwood Capital Management as the first employee hired to be head of operations, after he spent a couple very successful years at Short Alpha Partners, a big hedge fund he co-founded with Brian Rogers. Working bi-coastal from Los Angeles, Adam Weiss reported to Mr. Perlman. With a strong background in credit cards, especially American Express, Adam Weiss created by 2006 dozens of internet websites, domains and email addresses such as Creditcardrefi.com, Creditorforgetit.com and Tickler.com. In 2007, Scottwood parted ways with him. He later successfully co-founded New York hedge fund Cabochon Capital with Gordon Sweely in 2009 to invest in consumer credit asset-backed securities. Then, in 2015, Adam Weiss co-founded another large and successful hedge fund, Ocean Peak Capital Management, with big-time financial backing from Pete Briger, a co-founder of Fortress Group.lihat lebih sedikit
