MARK KINGDON
Kingdon Capital Management

Global Equity Long/Short, Willing to Wait for Opportunities/Not Always Invested

Mark Kingdon's office is located in Carnegie Hall Tower, between the Russian Tea Room and Carnegie Hall. His office, on the 50th floor, offers a panoramic view of Manhattan.

With assets under management now over $4.4 billion, Kingdon Capital Management is virtually closed to new investors. Kingdon will take new capital only to offset withdrawals. While this has been the policy for years, investors were just formally notified of this in May 2000. "Being the largest hedge fund manager is not important to us," says Kingdon, 51. Kingdon employees and families are the biggest investors.
