First ‘International’ Hedge Fund Debuts In Israel

Israel is now home to its first global hedge fund, thanks to a pair of immigrants from the world’s great hedge fund centers.

Ezra Gardner and Etan Silver founded Omnium Capital Management in Tel Aviv about three months ago. While the fund, which has no relation to the similiarly-named Citadel Investment Group hedge fund administration business, is technically the third hedge fund in Israel, it is the first that does not focus on local investors.
