Eric Rosenfeld - Biography

Eric Rosenfeld was a trader and principal in the Long-Term Capital Management hedge fund, a landmark Wall Street disaster.

Prior to LTCM, Rosenfeld was an instructor at Harvard University, and then a trader at the famed Salomon Brothers. About one year after LTCM's rescue, in 1999, he joined John Meriwether as a partner in JWM Partners LLC, which started operations with about $250 million under management. He left JWM Partners to join Paloma Partners, a Greenwich fund-of-funds.

In 2007, Rosenfeld founded Quantitative Alternatives LLC in Rye Brook, NY with Bruce Wilson and Robert Shustak. The firm closed in late 2007.

As a graduate student at MIT, he worked with Mitch Kapor, future founder of Lotus, to create and sell a financial statistics program written in BASIC for an Apple II.
