Scott Bessent, who managed George Soros’s European investments for eight years, is returning to Soros Fund Management LLC as chief investment officer to oversee the $25 billion that belongs to the billionaire, his family and foundations, according to a letter sent to employees.
Bessent, 49, succeeds Keith Anderson, 51, who left in July after his performance over the previous 18 months lagged behind peers. At the time of Anderson’s departure, the New York-based firm told clients it would return all outside capital, less than $1 billion, by the end of this year.
