Horseman Capital, founded by John Horseman gained notoriety during the run-up to the financial crisis for its prescient bearishness. The firm's founder, John Horseman, earned a total of $180 million during 2008 after steering the Horseman Global fund to a 31% net return. The fund also had another fantastic feat with a 14% return in 2013 while remaining net short.
John Horseman relinquished control of his funds, but not his company, during 2010 after losing 25% in 2009 as he continued to remain bearish while markets rallied.
Horseman European Select
Horseman Capital currently manages $2.3 billion spread across several funds. One of the smallest is the Horseman European Select UCITS Fund with net assets of $25 million.
