Why this world-renowned Israeli financial adviser is worried about the future
As someone whose name adorns the school of economics building at Reichman University (formerly the Interdisciplinary Center, Herzliya), you might expect Avi Tiomkin to sound statesmanlike. He is anything but.
His financial résumé includes being an angel in startup companies such as Dov Moran’s M-Systems and real-asset companies such as Bonjour, and serving as an adviser to some of the best-known hedge funds worldwide, including Caxton and Odyssey. In recent years he served as an adviser to Brevan Howard Asset Management, a hedge fund specializing in macro investments that yielded an 80 percent return last year.
