The Sydney -based company, Minotaur Capital, was founded by Armina Rosenberg and Thomas Rice.

Minotaur is part of an increasing number of hedge funds experimenting with the means of improving yields and expenses to reduce AI as technology becomes more and more sophisticated. However, the jury is still on the capacity of AI models to provide long -term yields.
The Global Minotaur Opportunities Fund has a large mandate, traveling all the actions listed worldwide. It charges 1.5% management fees and performance costs of 20% for any profit. Rosenberg said it expects the fund to manage around $ 50 million ($ 31 million) by the end of 2025.
The co-founder Rice, 44, was previously a portfolio manager of the Global Innovation Share Fund at Perpetual Ltd. He also applied his own algorithmic fun to create a Marvel film recommendation site.
The large -language model of the fund digests around 5,000 press articles per day and can produce a report of around 2,000 words on global actions given that it considers the potential to double in three years or to improve ten times in the the following decade.
