Paul Tudor Jones: At the Top
After his successful prediction of the 1987 stock market crash, Jones was celebrated as a guru in the stock and trading business. This significantly facilitated the attraction of new investors for Tudor Investment Company, leading to a continuous growth of assets under management. Alongside his own trading career, Jones remained active in the industry. For example, he and Hunt Taylor played a significant role in the founding of FINEX, a futures segment at the New York Cotton Exchange. From August 1992 to June 1995, Jones even served as the Chairman of this project.
