Kirkoswald Capital Partners

Kirkoswald Capital Partners

Greg Coffey founded Kirkoswald Capital Partners in 2011, after building a reputation as one of Europe's most successful macro traders at GLG Partners and later Moore Capital Management. The firm's wealth origin flows from Coffey's proprietary trading profits and external capital raised from institutional investors. Kirkoswald deploys a multi-strategy approach centered on global macro and systematic trading, with active positions in currencies, interest rates, equities, and commodities. The firm's quantitative overlay complements discretionary macro bets. Known portfolio exposures have included long dollar positions and short European government bonds during the eurozone crisis (per Financial Times, 2015). The firm targets liquid, traded markets rather than private equity or venture capital. By 2019, AUM had exceeded $2B (per Bloomberg, 2019). The team includes Kenneth Shih as Chief Operating Officer. The firm is headquartered in London with no publicly listed additional offices. No recent AUM or fundraising data is available after 2019. Kirkoswald has maintained a low public profile relative to peers. Kirkoswald's structural differentiator is its combination of discretionary macro and systematic trading within a single hedge fund structure—a hybrid rare among London-based macro shops. Coffey's personal capital is substantially invested alongside external LPs, aligning incentives. The firm's governance is concentrated around Coffey as CIO, with succession and leadership structure details not publicly disclosed.
