William Alexander von Mueffling [1] is an investor, hedge fund manager, and producer. He is the president of Cantillon Capital Management, an investment firm with more than $14 billion under management.[2]
Early life and education [ edit ]
Mueffling was born in Munich to a German investment-banker father, William Freiherr von Mueffling, and an American mother, Marsha Millard, who met as students at Columbia University .[3] [4] [5] His paternal family is descended from German nobility, and his maternal grandfather, Mark Millard, was a senior managing director and a member of the board of directors of Shearson/American Express . His father died when he was a toddler, and his mother moved William and his siblings to New York. He attended The Hotchkiss School in Lakeville, Connecticut .[6] He then attended Columbia University , earning his B.A. in 1990 and M.B.A. from Columbia Business School in 1995.[7]
Von Mueffling worked for Deutsche Bank in France before joining Lazard , where he became a managing director at Lazard Asset Management and gained fame as an investor in his early 30s by shorting technology stocks, posting average annual returns of more than 30% from 1998 to 2003. He was called a "Wunderkind" by Forbes and "alpha male" by the Economist for his stellar performance. [8] [9]
After a dispute with Lazard's chief executive Bruce Wasserstein over compensation,[10] [11] he left in 2003 to start his own hedge fund, Cantillon Capital Management.[12] As a result of his departure, Lazard's hedge fund business suffered a devastating loss of $3 billion, as many of its investors followed von Mueffling to the new firm.[13]
In 2007, he was named one of New York magazine's "hedge-fund elite" along with the likes of Chase Coleman , Peter Thiel and Eric Mindich .[14] Between 2006 and 2008, he was named one of Institutional investor 's 25 top-earning hedge fund managers in the industry.[15] [16] [17]
Mueffling closed his hedge fund in 2009 and returned $3.5 billion to investors, and switched to a long-only strategy by retaining $1 billion in long-only assets.[7] [18] His investment firm has an AUM of nearly $15 billion, as of September 2021.[19]
He executive produced the 2015 documentary film Racing Extinction about the ongoing Holocene extinction and the 2019 documentary film Slay the Dragon about gerrymandering in the United States .[20] [21] He also helped launch whosontheballot.org, a website that provides one-stop comprehensive guide for all things related to voting in New York City .[22]
Mueffling sits on Columbia Business School 's board of overseers.[12] In 2007, he served on The President's Working Group on Financial Markets , where he was named to the Asset Manager's committee and helped draw up guidelines for best practices in the hedge fund industry.[23] [24]
Mueffling serves as an advisor to the litigation funding startup Legalist .[25] [26]
