Colm O'Shea (born 1970[1]) is the CIO and founder of COMAC capital a London UK based Global Macro Hedge Fund.
O’Shea’s fund COMAC manages over $5bn,[2] as of 2011. O’Shea worked from 1992, when he graduated from Cambridge, until 2003 as a trader for Citicorp. He worked for two years for George Soros and then at Balyasny Asset Management, before starting Comac in 2006[3][4]. In 2011, when the book Hedge Fund Market Wizards by Jack Schwager was written, O’Shea was ranked Number 21 on Forbes list of top hedge fund managers with over $5 billion under management, with a record from 2003 to 2011 of over 11% per year. At that time he had never had a down year, and the British press reported that he was paid $41.8 million in 2011.[1] O’Shea generated profits for Comac in 2008 by betting on a fall in American interest rates after the collapse of Lehman Brothers.[5][6]
