Glenn Dubin

Glenn Russell Dubin (born April 13, 1957) is an American billionaire hedge fund manager and the Principal of Dubin & Co. LP, a private investment company. He is the co-founder of Highbridge Capital Management, founder of Engineers Gate, and a founding board member of the Robin Hood Foundation.

Glenn Russell Dubin was born to a Jewish middle-class family in the Washington Heights section of upper Manhattan, New York. He is the oldest son of Harvey and Edith Dubin. His father was a taxi driver who later worked in dress manufacturing. His mother emigrated to the United States from Austria and worked as a hospital administrator.

Dubin attended public school at Washington Heights's P.S. 132 and received a bachelor's degree in economics from Stony Brook University, where he was a member of the school's football team and lacrosse club. In May 2012, he was the keynote speaker at Stony Brook University's commencement and received an honorary degree of Doctor of Letters for his contributions to finance and philanthropy.

Dubin began his career in finance as a retail stock broker at E. F. Hutton & Co. in 1978. At Hutton, Dubin worked with Paul Tudor Jones.

In 1984, Dubin and his childhood friend Henry Swieca founded Dubin & Swieca Capital Management, an early fund of funds that constructed multi-manager hedge fund portfolios guided by modern portfolio theory. In 2005, the firm was renamed Corbin Capital Partners, as Dubin and Swieca were no longer involved in its day-to-day management. The name reportedly originated from a Washington Heights intersection where the founders met when they were 5 years old.

In 1992, Dubin and Swieca founded Highbridge Capital Management, an institutional alternative-asset management firm, with $35 million in capital. It is named after the aqueduct between Washington Heights and the Bronx. In late 2004, J. P. Morgan Asset Management—a division of JPMorgan Chase—purchased a majority interest in Highbridge for $1.3 billion.

Between 2004 and 2007, Highbridge grew to over $35 billion in assets under management. In 2006, Highbridge invested as a joint venture in Louis Dreyfus Group to increase their access to and control of energy delivery within trading markets.

In July 2009, J. P. Morgan Asset Management completed its purchase of substantially all remaining shares of the firm. After the purchase, Dubin remained Highbridge's chief executive.
