Moore Capital Management: Platform Profile
We may earn a commission if you open an account through links on this page. Our editorial analysis is independent and is never influenced by commercial partnerships. Full disclosure.
Overview
Moore Capital Management, LP is a global investment management firm whose business, together with its predecessor, dates to 1989. The firm is principally owned indirectly by Louis Moore Bacon, who remains chairman and CEO.
Current regulatory filings show an umbrella structure with multiple relying advisers and a large private-fund complex. The current public site does not publish a simple firmwide product menu, minimum or fee schedule.
May fit better for
- sophisticated investors researching a long-established global hedge-fund manager;
- allocators comfortable with multiple relying advisers and private funds;
- investors who understand macro-oriented portfolios can be poorly represented by 13F;
- users who can evaluate fund terms from governing documents;
- institutions seeking private pooled-investment management.
May fit less well for
- retail investors seeking direct self-service access;
- users who expect one public minimum or one fee schedule;
- investors relying primarily on long-equity holdings data;
- users who treat private-fund gross assets as investor NAV;
- investors needing a simple public product catalog.

Assessment
Moore's current filings make the distinction between gross assets and AUM unavoidable. The March 2026 filing reports $23.7B of regulatory AUM but the private-fund schedule contains $61.4B of aggregate gross assets. Those numbers are calculated differently.
The Q2 13F adds a third measure: $6.74B of reportable long securities. None should overwrite the others.
