James A Torrey

Mr. Torrey is the Founder of The Torrey Funds, a fund of funds group investing with hedge fund managers worldwide. Having started in 1990, The Torrey Funds now manage over $1.3 billion for wealthy individuals, endowments and foundations, both in the U.S. and abroad. For more than 15 years, Mr. Torrey has been a leader in hedge fund investing in both U.S. and non-U.S. markets. The Torrey Funds have some of the most successful and longest running records in the industry. The firm’s success stems from its basic investment philosophy: finding newer hedge fund managers who, because of their smaller size, have the flexibility and passion to generate substantial gains. Previously, Mr. Torrey held executive positions at Kidder, Peabody & Co., The First Boston Corporation, PaineWebber Incorporated, and Alex. Brown & Sons. He attended the University of California at Berkeley and remains active in civic and community affairs. Mr. Torrey is on the board of the Milano Graduate School for Public Policy at the New School University and is on MicroVest's Investment Committee.
