Jeff Baehr

Jeff is a member of the Board of Directors and is a member of the Board’s Nominating & Governance Committee and its Investment Committee. Based on his own experience running and investing in hedge funds, Jeff created RueOne in 2016 with the realization that the prevailing commingled fund model for investing in alternatives was failing both investors and managers alike. At the same time Jeff recognized that innovative financial technology, regulation, and investor interest in new fund models had coalesced to provide an opportunity for the next generation of alternative investment firms. RueOne is the new generation. Jeff brings more than 15 years of experience in the hedge fund industry as a fund manager and asset allocator with a strong track record for sourcing new managers and investments. In 2007 he founded Empiric Asset Management, LLC, a family of hedge funds where he raised over $150MM and outperformed equity and energy indices through the Empiric Strategic Income Funds & Empiric Market Neutral Funds. Earlier in his career, Jeff was the Director of Research for ARIS Capital Management, LLC, a fund of hedge funds which employs a global multi-strategy investment approach. While at ARIS, he was responsible for conducting investment and operational due diligence on potential hedge fund investments in addition to serving on the investment committee. Jeff also held positions at The Carlyle Group, Deutsche Bank Advisors and The World Bank and Strategic Financial Solutions. He is an honors graduate of The George Washington University.
