S ir Christopher Rokos is a British billionaire hedge fund manager, considered one of the most successful and influential traders of his generation. He is best known as one of the three co-founders of the legendary global macro hedge fund Brevan Howard, which he started in 2002 with Alan Howard and two other partners. As the firm's star trader, he was responsible for generating a huge portion of its profits.
Rokos left Brevan Howard in 2012 to manage his own fortune but, after a lengthy and high-profile legal dispute over his non-compete clause, he launched his own hedge fund, Rokos Capital Management, in 2015. His new firm quickly grew into one of the largest macro hedge funds in the world, attracting billions of dollars in assets and cementing his reputation as a trading prodigy. He is known for his large, leveraged bets on interest rates and currencies. He was knighted for his extensive philanthropic work.
