Renée Haugerud

February 24th, 2009

Renee HaugerudRenée Haugerud is Managing Principal & CIO of Galtere Ltd., an NYC based $2 billion dollar commodity hedge fund organization. A pioneer in leveraging and combining a diverse profile and theme investment strategy along with rigorous risk management techniques, Haugerud’s insight into how global markets are affected by the psychology and relationships of macroeconomic trends makes her a sought after speaker and panelist at global investment events.  Haugerud grew up in rural Preston, Minnesota.   Haugerud attended several universities, one of which was upon a seagoing vessel traveling the world, before she focused on the University of Montana and a degree in forestry with honors.  After several temporary jobs Haugerud found Cargill.  She didn’t fit the mold for the typical Cargill employee but, after much diligence and a won’t-fail attitude, Haugerud was hired and eventually created a never-before profit center in the export and domestic sunflower seeds market. While working abroad, she discovered she had developed systems based on experiences in markets all over the world.  After a few more international postings including UK, Australia and Hong Kong, Haugerud launched her trading strategy which today has become Galtere Ltd., the largest female-owned hedge fund in the world.
