Company Information

Get to know Atticus Capital

Founded in 1995 by Timothy Barakett, Atticus Capital was a prominent hedge fund manager known for its activist and event-driven investment strategies. At its peak in 2007, the firm managed over $20 billion in assets, making it one of the largest hedge funds in the world. The firm was famous for its activist campaigns, notably its attempt to block the merger of Deutsche Börse and the London Stock Exchange. In August 2009, Barakett announced the firm would be closing its flagship funds and returning the majority of capital to investors, citing a desire to spend more time with his family and on philanthropic activities. The firm officially wound down its operations in the years that followed.

License

A Grade License

Issued by globally renowned regulators, these licenses ensure the highest trader protection through strict compliance, fund segregation, insurance, and regular audits. Dispute resolution and adherence to AML/CTF standards further enhance security.

Granted by respected regional regulators, these licenses offer robust safety measures such as fund segregation, financial reporting, and compensation schemes. Though slightly less strict than Tier 1, they provide dependable regional protection.

C Grade License

Issued by regulators in emerging markets, these licenses offer basic protections such as minimum capital requirements and AML policies. Oversight is less stringent, so traders should exercise caution and verify safety measures.
