Eldon C. Mayer graduated from Princeton University. After four years of research and sales experience at Kidder, Peabody & Co., he became a partner at J. M. Hartwell & Co. where he was a Senior Portfolio Manager and Director of Research. In 1967, Mr. Mayer was Managing Partner of a hedge fund, Park Westlake Associates and also assisted in the management of a hedge portfolio for A. W. Jones & Co., the first hedge fund ever established. In 1969, Mr. Mayer developed the idea of an open ended mutual fund to be managed as a hedge fund. This concept became a reality via the public offering of the Hartwell and Campbell Leverage Fund, with an initial offering of $75 million. Mr. Mayer managed this fund until leaving the firm in 1970 to become Managing Partner of Winton Company. In 1976, Mr. Mayer formed Lynch & Mayer, Inc. an asset management firm.
