Meet the 25-Year-Old Running a Multi-Manager Hedge Fund https://t.co/4n264GN3pO via @YouTube
A few weeks ago I attended an exclusive Founders Club event at Dave Grutman’s home in Miami.
Dave (CEO of Groot Hospitality) has built a legendary empire: LIV, Komodo, Papi Steak, Gekkō with Bad Bunny, The Goodtime Hotel with Pharrell—and in 2019, he sold a majority stake to Live Nation Entertainment, the world's leading live entertainment company. That move scaled his vision globally while keeping him at the helm.
The night buzzed with founder energy, but the highlight was a one-on-one with Dave. After walking him through Sixth Turn Capital, he said: “You have a world-class product. Now you just need to get more people to see it.”
Coming from someone who’s scaled massive, trend-defining brands in a cutthroat industry—and cashed in big with Live Nation? That’s razor-sharp validation. It reinforced what we’ve proven since launch: a capacity-constrained multi-manager platform delivering resilient alpha (only one down month –13 bps), low correlation, and high Sharpe—even in volatile markets.
Grateful for the access and the push: the right rooms accelerate everything. Miami keeps delivering.
If you’re
• an allocator seeking high-conviction, capacity-constrained multi-manager exposure
• a PM with uncorrelated edge looking for a home
• or building in alternatives and want to swap notes on scaling/alpha

Sixth Turn Capital is happy to announce its multi year sponsorship of professional waterskier Charlie Ross.

I got into investing young — the classic path: fundamental research, concentrated long-only, “find great businesses and hold.”
At 18, I started the first derivatives trading club at a Canadian university.
Then COVID hit.
Instead of being on campus, I was stuck at home — bored, restless, and reading everything I could about the greatest hedge fund managers of all time.
I ran into an uncomfortable truth early: a meaningful minority of the “top performers” weren’t geniuses — they were insiders. Illegal edge.
So I asked myself a better question:
If you can’t rely on access, relationships, or inside info…
what’s the best way to systematically extract edge from what’s publicly available?
That became the obsession.
I started using data science + programming to analyze public filings and identify which holdings were most likely to outperform.
At first I applied it across sectors — and it worked.
Then I asked the question that changed everything:
“If someone actually knew the answer ahead of time, where would that information have the highest value?”
The answer was obvious: biotech.
Biotech is where one catalyst can completely change the probability distribution.
So I built a biotech “alpha capture” strategy designed to identify which positions, from public filings, were most likely to outperform into a catalyst relative to what the market was implying.
At 21, I raised a few million dollars to prove it in the real world.
And during one of the worst stretches in modern biotech history, the strategy produced exceptional results.
That led to serious institutional conversations, and a lot of people assumed I’d just launch a biotech hedge fund and scale the same playbook.
But the experience taught me something more important:
Even if you have edge, single-manager businesses are fragile.
They rely too heavily on one person’s output forever.
So I decided to build something more durable — a return stream that doesn’t depend on me being “on” every day for decades.
At 24, I launched a multi-manager hedge fund: Sixth Turn Capital.
Since launching in March, we’ve had only one down month — May — and it was down just 13 bps.
Now the focus is scaling it, hardening the system, improving the portfolio construction, and making it more robust every single day.
Lesson:
If you think you can do something — you might be right.
And the only way to find out is to take the shot.
Worst case: you gain experience and skills that compound.
Best case: you become the thing you were studying.

Newer and more nimble funds have the ability to put up higher quality returns than their larger counterparts.
An example as to why @SixthTurnCap has had such a stable track record since launching in March.
