Mort Simpson
Profile
Prior to his career with Daruma, Mr. Simpson focused on undergraduate studies on accounting and received a Bachelor of Science degree in accounting from the University of Florida.
He went to the University of Michigan for his M.B.A.
and then headed straight to Wall Street to pursue his full time love of investing.
Wall Street was emerging from a long slumber in 1984, and though he landed a job at Irving Trust as a loan officer (that training in credit analysis has proved invaluable), he soon realized that the buy-side was what he truly loved.
After a number of years at Value firms that emphasized classic, fundamental research (Heine Securities and Arnold and S.
Bleichroeder Advisors, for example), Mr. Simpson founded his own firm, Bellmore Asset Management, in 1992.
At Bellmore he continued to invest using a research-intensive, bottom-up approach for long-only separate accounts, for both high-net-worth individuals and institutional clients.
In 1998 he started a second product, a market-neutral hedge fund, and achieved attractive returns during the market downturn of 2000 through 2003.
After eleven years, Mr. Simpson realized that he enjoyed finding and researching great investing ideas more than the challenges of running a money management business.
It was a difficult decision, but in late 2003, he decided to close his firm and join a hedge fund with a similar investment philosophy and strategy.
Over the past five years, working at two hedge funds (Brahman Capital and Glenhill Capital), he has continued to refine his investment skills and research techniques during an extraordinary time in the industry.
