I Just Sold My Hedge Fund Business Today - Trump Adviser Scaramucci

Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Anthony Scaramucci - head of SkyBridge Capital and prospective Trump advisor – said he has sold his $12 billion fund of funds. Scaramucci dropped the news in the middle of a session on Trump's economic agenda. He was chronicling his rise through the financial ranks and, referring to his current firm, said, "I've actually just sold today."

 

The buyers were DC-based RON Transatlantic Advisors and HNA Capital of New York. Sales terms were not disclosed, though the asking price was thought to be in the $250 million range. RON is a holding company while HNC is a financial services unit of HNA Group, with $90 billion of assets.

 

Scaramucci's role officially will be as a liaison in the White House for state and local governments and for both American and foreign businesses. The position has been compared to the one President Barack Obama's key confidante Valerie Jarrett currently holds, though Scaramucci has downplayed those reports.

 

With the Scaramucci appointment, it brings a total of at least a half-dozen former Goldman Sachs employees who will be serving key advisory roles in the new administration.
