Small team, limited scopeThe hedge fund makes trades based solely on news from Hunterbrook Media, its media sister company, sometimes getting advanced copies of the articles and placing trades before publication.
AdvertisementThe hedge fund, however, has just one sole full-time employee.
Before a story is published on Hunterbrook Media, the firm's general counsel reviews it to make sure there's not any insider information — such as leaked earning figures — in it.
AdvertisementIf the general counsel and the executives green light the story to be shared, then it goes to the hedge fund — in other words, Dunlevie and Horwitz — prepublication.
Opportunities few and far between so farInvestigations from Hunterbrook Media so far have less than a 50% hit rate on turning into trades for the hedge fund.
