Karen Finerman, of Metropolitan Capital in New York, is actually willing to crack open the secretive, testosterone-rich world of the hedge-fund manager. She has decided to go against the prevailing ethos – keep your head down, don’t get a profile – and make a virtue of her pioneering status as one of the first women to run a hedge fund. She is 42, and began her hedge fund 15 years ago. It was then worth $4m; now it is worth $400m.
She earns some $5m a year, has two sets of twins by IVF, four nannies, and a husband, Lawrence Golub, who earns a fortune in his own right from his private-equity fund. As she has four children, her looks, her marriage and more money than she could spend, she could congratulate herself on being one of the world’s most successful women. Plus, unlike our beleaguered Hollywood celebrities, she doesn’t need to worry about getting old or getting papped every morning.

Karen Finerman Politics
Karen Finerman on Alibaba and investing in businesses that work with China: “I feel like I can’t fight that unknown of what China government crackdowns could be. It’s not surprising that [the Alibaba stock] bounces, because it’s so cheap. There is a lot to like about it. But I just can’t get back in. The thing that is more interesting to me also about China, though, with the things you cited, the lockdown and all of that, I see names like a Nike, names like a Starbucks that do significant business in China. I think that’s what’s weighing on them. We may see more of that. We might see it in the luxury space. I don’t know where else. But I think that we will see it and so I’ve kind of stayed away.”
