In this article, you will learn about the 74 major public equity investment firms in California: 37 hedge funds, 30 long-onlys, and 7 family offices.
Things to note
This list will be updated when there are notable fund closures or new launches. Updated 6/20/2025
I try my best to only include independent U.S. institutional investment firms, which means excluding:
Bank-owned asset management firms, like GS Asset Management (GSAM)
Profiles of PMs working at a multi-manager platform (unless they have founded their own firm)
U.S. subsidiary of non-American firms (such as Vontebel)
Wealth managers, financial advisors, financial planners, etc.
All firms described are more than $100 million AUM.
AUM figures are regulatory figures which include leverage if it’s a hedge fund.
