- A Wall Street veteran, Henry Swieca cofounded hedge fund firm Highbridge Capital Management in 1992 with childhood friend Glenn Dubin.
- The duo sold part of the business to JP Morgan Chase in 2004 and the rest in 2009.
- After the sale Swieca opened Talpion Fund, which manages his own fortune. The name Talpion comes from the Biblical word Talpiot, meaning a castle's turret.
- Talpion's portfolio includes real estate and startup cash for new money management firms.
- A son of Polish holocaust survivors, Swieca started off his career at Merrill Lynch, where he got the job by knocking on the doors of Manhattan banks.
- Swieca learned stock investing from his dentist uncle, and turned to the market to fund his and his brother's education after losing both of his parents at age 19.
- Highbridge was named after an aqueduct that connected New York City's Washington Heights (where Swieca was raised) and the Bronx.
