David Tepper
Appaloosa is a hedge fund founded in 1993 by David Tepper, who gained fame for his bold contrarian bets during the 2008 financial crisis that yielded billions in profits. Originally specializing in distressed debt, the firm has evolved to invest flexibly across public equities and fixed income globally. Tepper's opportunistic investment approach combines macroeconomic analysis with deep fundamental research, allowing Appaloosa to identify mispriced assets during periods of dislocation.
