A million dollar man with a billion dollar plan!

Edward Eisler is a former Goldman Sachs trader is starting a new macro hedge fund and already gets very impressive results.

Eisler raised nearly $1 billion to launch a new hedge fund called Eisler Capital, The Wall Street Journal said.

Edward Eisler, who left Goldman in 2012, is starting a so-called macro hedge fund that places bets on how economic and political events will affect bonds, currencies and other securities, the people said. His new firm, called Eisler Capital and based in London, has drawn its money from a handful of money managers, the people said.

Mr. Eisler stunned Wall Street and many of his fellow Goldman partners in January 2012 when he retired from the firm at age 42.

His new fund will look for promising trades at a time when many of the world’s economies have diverged, commodities prices have plunged, and government policy decisions are difficult to predict. Such a volatile backdrop can be fertile ground for macro investors willing to bet on an outcome.

Eisler Capital has hired about a dozen people, and will begin trading in early 2016, the person said.
