Description

Ramius was founded in 1994.

Ramius was founded in 1994 by Peter Cohen (former Chairman and CEO of Shearson Lehman Brothers) with Jeffrey Solomon (former CAO and Head of Corporate Development at Republic New York Securities Corp.). They were joined by Thomas Strauss (former President of Salomon Brothers and Vice Chairman of Salomon, Inc.) and Morgan Stark (former President and CEO of Chemical Securities).

Through its predecessor and its affiliates, Ramius has been providing discretionary investment management services to U.S. and international private investors, pension funds, endowments, foundations, corporations, insurance companies and other fiduciaries since 1994. Ramius was organized and took its present form in 1997 in order to accept additional equity capital, which allowed it to accelerate its growth and to continue to build a sustainable institutional platform for its absolute return programs.

Ramius or at least one of its subsidiaries or affiliates is a Registered Investment Adviser with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission; is registered as a Commodity Pool Operator and a Commodity Trading Advisor with the Commodities Futures Trading Commission; has been approved by the Commission de Surveillance du Secteur Financier as the Investment Manager of Ramius' Luxembourg-domiciled SICAV, which serves as the investment vehicle for many of Ramius' European based clients; and is also licensed or registered to conduct business with the Financial Services Authority in the United Kingdom, the Financial Services Agency in Japan and the Securities and Futures Commission in Hong Kong. Ramius GmbH is registered with the (Austrian) Financial Market Authority, the (German) Federal Financial Supervisory Authority and the Financial Services Authority in the United Kingdom.

In 2004, Ramius merged its fund of funds business with Bayerische Hypo-Vereinsbank AG ("HVB") to create Ramius Fund of Funds Group. While the Fund of Funds Group is jointly owned by Ramius and HVB, it is managed and controlled exclusively by Ramius.
