I began my professional trading career in 1981 making markets in options as a member of two exchanges. I became a registered CTA (Commodity Trading Advisor) in 1992. Since then, I have been the principle trader for several hedge funds and started my own hedge fund in 2002 for which i was the CPO (Commodity Pool Operator). Linda’s hedge fund was ranked 17th out of 4500 for best 5 year performance by BarclaysHedge and my early successes were recognized by Jack Schwager in his renowned Market Wizards series. I retired as a CPO and CTA in 2015. In the world of professional trading and money management, Linda Raschke stands out from the crowd for three factors: Performance, Longevity and Consistency.
