NY TIMES 2015 report----"For the Clintons a hedge fund in the family."

EXCERPT When Chelsea's hubby, and his Goldman Sachs partners began raising money in 2011 for a new hedge fund firm, Eaglevale Partners, a number of investors in the firm were longtime supporters of the Clintons, according to interviews and financial documents reviewed by The New York Times.

Tens of millions of dollars raised by Mezvinsy's Eaglevale can be attributed to investors with some relationship or link to the Clintons.

Mezvinsky's investors include hedge fund managers:
Marc Lasry and James Leitner;
an overseas money management firm connected to the Rothschild family; and,
people from Goldman Sachs, including the chief executive, Lloyd C. Blankfein.

Some of these self-same investors in Mezvinsky's Eaglevale have contributed campaign money to Bill Clinton and to Mrs. Clinton. Some have also contributed to the Clinton family foundation.

Identifying who put money into Eaglevale, a roughly $400 million fund that has had underwhelming returns for much of its brief history, is difficult because hedge funds do not publicly disclose their investors.

Still, the overlap between at least some of Eaglevale’s investors and backers of the Clintons illustrates how politics and finance can intersect and shows the fine line the Clinton family must navigate as their charitable and business endeavors come under scrutiny in an election cycle.

Mr. Lasry, a co-founder of the hedge fund Avenue Capital, and a longtime friend and financial backer of both the former president and Mrs. Clinton, said he invested $1 million in Eaglevale. In an interview in his Park Avenue office, adorned with many photos of him with the former president, he said that he recommended that his relative by marriage, Craig Effron, another hedge fund manager, also invest in the fund.

“I gave them money because I thought they would make me money,” said Mr. Lasry, whose $13 billion firm was one of the first places Chelsea worked after graduating from Stanford.

A number of other investors reached by The Times declined to be interviewed.

REFERENCE Chelsea Clinton's husband, Mark Mezvinsky, in 2010, founded the investment firm Eaglevale Partners two years later with the help of Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd Blankfein, a prominent Hillary Clinton supporter. Billionaire investor and Democratic megadonor Marc Lasry was also an early investor in Eaglevale.

The firm, which manages about $330 million in total, is down 1 percent on the year, which is slightly worse than average for hedge funds. Since its inception, Eaglevale has posted what the New York Times described as “uneven performance.” Mezvinsky’s financial trouble is unlikely to concern wife Chelsea, who has said she could never bring herself to care about money. That didn’t stop her from turning down a $600,000 annual salary at NBC News to do basically nothing except interview the Geico gecko from time to time.

The money-losing couple lives in a luxury $10 million luxury condo in Manhattan’s trendy Flatiron District. Chelsea's hubby setting up a Greek bond fund with his financiers, Goldman Sachs. Secretary of State Hillary helped out-- allegedly sharing classified information to help her SIL.

Mezvinsky's $325 million basket of offshore funds under the Eaglevale Partners hedge fund lost tens of millions of dollars. Mezvinsky's exclusive Greek debt fund suffered near-total losses....and ended up shuttering the disastrous hedger.

================================================

It takes a special kind of stupid for Mezvinsky to drop that much cash trading on good inside information ... then again, "special kid of stupid"....sure does describe the Mezvinsky family.
