Profile
John D. Arnold is the founder and the only shareholder of Centaurus Energy Advisors, a hedge fund specializing in trading of energy. In 2008, the young trader is among the top three traders who earned the most money, his salary amounted to $ 1.5 billion. In 2011, he is ranked by Forbes magazine the 336th richest man in the world with a fortune estimated at $ 3.3 billion.
Graduated of Vanderbilt University in Nashville, John Arnold began his career in 1995 as a trader for Enron. Firstly, in the domain of the oil then in the gas. He would have saved the company $ 750 million in 2001.
In 2002, when Enron is in bankrupt, John Arnold, a connoisseur of energy trading creates Centaurus Energy Advisors. During the early years, the hedge fund displays 240% annual return before "falling back" to 175% in 2005. The hedge fund that manages $ 3 billion in assets ranks among the finest staff of energy traders like Greg Whalley, former CEO of Enron, or Bill Perkins, Jeffrey Welch and Conrad Goerl, former persons of MotherRock.
In 2006, John Arnold has an enemy, Brian Hunter, star trader of the fund Amaranth Advisors.Hunter takes risks by betting on rising gas prices, John Arnold does the opposite, anticipating a price decline, he will be right. Risk-taking by Brian Hunter is reflected in the loss of 6 billion and the failure of Amaranth Advisors. Centaurus is in heaven, the return on investment is 317% and two billion dollars of profit are directly pocketed by John Arnold.
