Pending Review The Federal Reserve's emergency lending facilities launched March 2008 provided hedge funds systematic indirect access to government liquidity through prime broker relationships, creating federal support channels that bypass traditional procurement oversight and disclosure requirements
Date: 2008 Added: 09 Apr 2026
Pending Review Global macro hedge funds with $1+ billion AUM during 2008-2009 would have material Treasury securities exposure as a structural requirement of their investment strategy, creating indirect federal financial relationships through normal market operations rather than procurement channels

Date: 2009-11-13 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The absence of Clarium Capital from Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission analysis despite $7.8 billion AUM and documented crisis profitability represents a systematic gap in official crisis investigation methodology
Date: 2010-2011 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review BlackRock's appointment as manager of Federal Reserve emergency lending facilities during 2008 created potential information asymmetries where traditional banking crisis managers could access real-time distressed asset data unavailable to hedge fund competitors
Date: 2008 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's crisis-period gains from housing shorts occurred through derivative instruments that fell outside 13F disclosure requirements, creating information asymmetries where congressional investigators lacked position data available for traditional institutions during the same period
Date: 2008 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Hedge funds managing between $1-10 billion AUM during 2008-2009 operated in a regulatory blind spot where they could profit from crisis volatility while remaining exempt from the enhanced transparency and congressional oversight applied to traditional financial institutions receiving direct government support
Date: 2008-2009 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The Federal Reserve's March 2008 emergency lending facilities (PDCF, TSLF) created an unprecedented indirect channel for hedge fund access to government liquidity through prime broker relationships, extending federal crisis support to private investment funds without direct congressional oversight or public disclosure requirements
Date: 2008 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Investment adviser firms can maintain SEC registration infrastructure in dormant status while ceasing active operations, creating potential regulatory shell structures that could facilitate undisclosed activities outside traditional procurement oversight
Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Hedge funds managing between $1-10 billion AUM were systematically excluded from Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission witness lists despite documented crisis-period profitability and material relevance to derivative market analysis
Date: 2010-2011 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Global macro hedge funds typically structure as private investment partnerships with sophisticated investor bases subject to different dispute resolution frameworks than retail brokerage customers covered by standard FINRA arbitration procedures
Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review FINRA arbitration applies primarily to broker-dealer disputes, while investment adviser customer complaints often fall under different arbitration frameworks (JAMS, AAA) or state court jurisdiction, creating complexity in determining the applicable dispute resolution mechanism for Clarium's hedge fund structure
Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review SEC Form ADV Part 1A Item 11 requires investment advisers to disclose customer complaints and arbitration proceedings within specific timeframes, making Clarium's dispute resolution activities potentially discoverable in regulatory filings regardless of confidentiality agreements
Date: 2008-2017 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The absence of mid-tier hedge fund testimony from FCIC proceedings represents a structural gap in crisis analysis, given these funds' documented ability to profit from traditional institution failures through derivative strategies
Date: 2010-2011 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's crisis-period derivative positions concentrated in housing shorts would have provided material insights into derivative market functioning that were systematically excluded from FCIC analysis due to 13F reporting exemptions
Date: 2008 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The FCIC's systematic exclusion of hedge funds with AUM below $10 billion created a documented oversight gap for the exact fund category that included Clarium Capital during its peak crisis-period performance
Date: 2010-2011 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The SEC's temporary relief measures during 2008-2009 provided filing deadline extensions but not exemptions from substantive reporting requirements, making crisis-period gaps distinct from regulatory avoidance
Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Investment adviser fiscal year changes require formal SEC notification through Form ADV amendments, creating a discoverable paper trail for Clarium's shift from calendar year to April fiscal year-end reporting
Date: 2010 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The shift from February to July SEC filings indicates Clarium Capital formally adopted an April fiscal year end, which would require specific SEC notification and documentation of business structure changes
Date: 2010 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Investment adviser firms can maintain SEC registration infrastructure in dormant status for minimal annual compliance costs while ceasing active fund management, distinguishing regulatory compliance from operational capacity
Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's 2016-2017 SEC filing resumption occurred during the standard five-year lookback period for SEC enforcement statute of limitations, creating temporal correlation between regulatory risk management and disclosure resumption
Date: 2016 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Global macro hedge funds managing over $1 billion AUM during 2008-2009 had material government securities exposure that created indirect federal financial relationships outside traditional procurement frameworks
Date: 2008-2009 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Treasury's PPIP program recruitment phase (March-July 2009) overlapped precisely with Clarium Capital's steepest AUM decline period, creating a documented decision window for government program participation
Date: 2009 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The Federal Reserve's PDCF facility launched March 2008 provided hedge funds indirect access to government liquidity through prime broker relationships, creating a non-procurement channel for federal financial support
Date: 2008 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Global macro hedge funds typically require multiple prime brokerage relationships across major financial centers to execute currency and commodity derivative strategies effectively
Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review SEC Form ADV Schedule D requires disclosure of prime brokerage relationships above specific asset thresholds, making Clarium's counterparty arrangements potentially discoverable in regulatory filings
Date: 2008-2017 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The FSA's 'overseas persons exemption' during 2008-2017 permitted non-UK investment firms to use UK prime brokerage services without FSA authorization provided they did not market directly to UK retail clients
Date: 2008-2017 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The FSA's regulatory strengthening during 2008-2011 primarily focused on systemically important institutions and alternative investment fund managers above specific AUM thresholds, with unclear applicability to US-domiciled global macro funds
Date: 2008-2011 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission's witness selection methodology appears to have excluded alternative investment vehicles that profited from traditional institution failures, despite their material relevance to crisis dynamics
Date: 2010-2011 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Congressional crisis investigations systematically lacked access to hedge fund derivative position data due to 13F exemptions, creating information asymmetries that traditional institution oversight could access
Date: 2008-2009 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The Senate PSI's focus on traditional financial institutions during 2008-2009 short-selling hearings created a documented oversight gap for hedge funds managing between $1-10 billion AUM, despite this segment's documented crisis profitability
Date: 2008-2009 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Standard SEC Form ADV annual amendments are due within 90 days of fiscal year-end, making February filings inconsistent with any standard fiscal year structure for investment advisers
Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The maintenance of SEC registration infrastructure during Clarium's 2013-2016 'defunct' period suggests the fund retained legal and compliance capabilities that could have supported undisclosed activities
Date: 2013 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The claimed February SEC filing pattern for Clarium Capital pre-2010 would be inconsistent with standard Form ADV annual amendment requirements, which mandate filing within 90 days of fiscal year-end
Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's July filing pattern (2010, 2016, 2017) suggests adoption of an April fiscal year-end, which would require formal SEC notification and could affect the timing of employee employer disclosure in political contributions
Date: 2010 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's crisis-period gains derived from derivative positions that fell outside the 13F disclosure requirements applied to traditional institutions, creating information asymmetries that congressional investigators could not access
Date: 2008-06-15 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations' 2008-2009 hearing structure systematically excluded hedge funds with AUM below $10 billion, creating documented gaps in crisis analysis for funds in Clarium's exact size category
Date: 2008-2009 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The commission's focus on systemically important financial institutions created a systematic blind spot for profitable mid-tier alternative investment vehicles that capitalized on traditional institution failures
Date: 2010-2011 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's crisis-period profits derived from short positions on housing assets would have provided material insights into derivative market functioning that were absent from FCIC analysis
Date: 2008-06-15 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The fund's global macro strategy concentration in non-reportable assets (currencies, commodities, derivatives) created structural disclosure gaps during the exact period when traditional financial institutions faced enhanced transparency requirements
Date: 2008-2009 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's peak AUM period (2008) coincided precisely with the Federal Reserve's emergency lending facility launches (PDCF, TSLF) that provided hedge funds unprecedented government liquidity access, creating temporal correlation requiring investigation
Date: 2008-06-15 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission's final report contains no references to Clarium Capital despite the fund's $7.8 billion AUM and documented 57.9% crisis-period gains, confirming its absence from official crisis analysis
Date: 2011-06-15 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Personnel changes at hedge funds managing over $100 million in equity securities would trigger Form ADV amendment requirements within 30 days, making Danzeisen's impact on Clarium's operations potentially visible in SEC filings if it involved reportable strategy modifications
Date: 2008-06-15 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The absence of Clarium Capital 13F filings during its peak $7.8 billion AUM period confirms the fund's global macro strategy concentrated in non-equity instruments (currencies, commodities, derivatives) that fall outside quarterly equity disclosure requirements
Date: 2008-06-15 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Investment adviser firms can maintain SEC registration in dormant status for minimal annual costs while ceasing active fund management, creating a distinction between regulatory compliance and operational capacity that the Clarium filing pattern may represent
Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The absence of any documented government program participation by Clarium Capital during 2008-2009 contrasts with the fund's sophisticated regulatory compliance capabilities evidenced by continuous SEC Form ADV filings throughout the same period
Date: 2008-2009 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Treasury's PPIP program launched in March 2009 with explicit hedge fund recruitment occurred during the exact months of Clarium Capital's steepest AUM decline, creating a 4-month window (March-July 2009) where participation decision-making would be documented in regulatory filings
Date: 2009-06-15 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review SEC Form ADV annual amendments are due within 90 days of fiscal year end, meaning July filings would correspond to April fiscal year end only if such a change was explicitly documented in the fund's regulatory filings
Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review The Dodd-Frank Act's hedge fund registration requirements primarily affected funds above $150 million AUM, making structural changes unlikely for Clarium given its documented decline below this threshold by 2010
Date: 2010-06-15 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's July 2016-2017 SEC filings occurred 3-4 years after the fund was publicly reported as defunct in 2013, indicating either unreported operational continuation or maintenance of regulatory shell structure
Date: 2016-2017 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review SEC temporary relief orders during financial crises typically target filing deadlines rather than substantive reporting requirements, suggesting any 2008-2009 measures would have provided deadline extensions rather than exemptions from disclosure obligations
Date: 2008-2009 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital was considered defunct by 2013 after shrinking by 90% and losing most investors
Date: 2013-01-01 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital had $7.8 billion in assets under management in June 2008 but fell to $1.5 billion by July 2009 after investor withdrawals
Date: 2008-06-01 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Peter Thiel founded Clarium Capital in 2002 as a global macro hedge fund using $10 million from his PayPal proceeds
Date: 2002-01-01 Added: 08 Apr 2026
Pending Review Hedge fund management companies typically maintain separate SEC registration from their investment fund entities, creating a dual-structure where 'Clarium Capital Management LLC' could be SEC-registered while 'Clarium Capital LP' serves as the investment vehicle
Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Delaware Limited Partnership registrations during 2002-2008 would not appear in standard corporate databases but require separate Limited Partnership searches, potentially explaining the record gap for hedge fund investment vehicles
Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's SEC Form ADV filings would contain mandatory disclosure of the exact legal entity name, state of incorporation, and business structure, making the absence of corporate records inconsistent with continuous SEC registration unless filed under a variant entity name
Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The filing gap period coincides with the implementation of enhanced SEC oversight of hedge funds under Dodd-Frank, potentially creating incentives for funds to operate below disclosure thresholds
Date: 2010-2012 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium's ability to resume SEC filings in 2016 after a 6-year gap suggests the fund maintained some operational infrastructure and regulatory compliance capabilities throughout the dormant period
Date: 2016 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The 6-year SEC filing gap corresponds to the period when hedge fund industry AUM declined industry-wide due to poor performance and increased redemptions, with smaller funds disproportionately affected by new Dodd-Frank compliance costs
Date: 2010-2016 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Standard Lobbying Disclosure Act searches would not capture informal policy coordination or information sharing between Clarium Capital and government officials during crisis periods, as such activities fall below LDA registration thresholds
Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The Federal Reserve's emergency lending facilities (PDCF, TSLF) launched in March 2008 created unprecedented hedge fund access to government liquidity during the exact period of Clarium's 57.9% H1 2008 gains, establishing temporal correlation that requires investigation
Date: 2008 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's absence from Treasury PPIP participation lists would confirm the fund avoided the primary government program designed for hedge fund crisis engagement, despite the program's March 2009 launch occurring during Clarium's documented AUM decline period
Date: 2009-06-15 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The 6-year filing gap between July 2010 and July 2016 precisely corresponds to the period when Clarium's AUM fell below the $100 million 13F reporting threshold, indicating the fund maintained advisory registration while avoiding public position disclosure
Date: 2010-2016 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Dodd-Frank Act amendments to the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, implemented between 2010-2012, changed SEC reporting thresholds and filing schedules for hedge funds, potentially explaining post-2009 filing pattern changes
Date: 2010-2012 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review SEC Form ADV annual amendments are typically due within 90 days of fiscal year-end (March for calendar year filers), not February, making the claimed February pattern inconsistent with standard regulatory requirements
Date: 2006-2009 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The absence of quarterly 13F filings during Clarium's peak AUM period (~$7 billion in 2008) suggests the fund's global macro strategy concentrated in non-reportable assets like currencies, commodities, and derivatives rather than the long equity positions captured by 13F requirements
Date: 2008 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's resumption of SEC filings in 2016-2017 after a 6-year absence indicates either a recovery of assets above reporting thresholds or a change in regulatory classification that triggered renewed disclosure obligations
Date: 2016-2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The 6-year gap in Clarium Capital's SEC filings (2010-2016) coincided with the industry-wide hedge fund consolidation period when assets under management industry-wide declined and smaller funds faced redemption pressures and increased regulatory compliance costs
Date: 2010-2016 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The definitional scope of 'serving as a subcontractor' requires clarification between formal subcontracting agreements (which would trigger procurement regulations) and informal advisory or consulting relationships (which might not constitute contracting)
Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Subcontracting arrangements between hedge funds and prime federal contractors would not appear in standard USASpending.gov contractor fields but might be documented in contract narratives or SEC filings of publicly traded prime contractors
Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Federal emergency financial programs during 2008-2009 (PPIP, PDCF, TSLF) operated under different legal authorities than standard federal procurement and may have engaged hedge funds without requiring SAM.gov registration or appearing in USASpending.gov databases
Date: 2008-2009 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review NAICS code 523920 (Portfolio Management) represents a systematic categorical barrier to standard federal procurement contracts, making SAM.gov registration unlikely for traditional hedge fund operations
Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The Treasury Department's Public-Private Investment Program (PPIP) launched in March 2009 specifically recruited private investment funds including hedge funds as government partners, potentially requiring SAM.gov registration for participating firms
Date: 2009-06-15 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The fund's US-only regulatory footprint during 2008-2011 occurred precisely when UK financial regulators were implementing enhanced hedge fund oversight following the crisis, creating temporal correlation between regulatory tightening and Clarium's continued UK absence
Date: 2008-2011 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's global macro strategy would have structurally benefited from direct UK market access for currency and gilt trading, making its absence from UK regulatory databases a deliberate strategic choice rather than operational coincidence
Date: 2008-2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The systematic absence of Clarium Capital from UK regulatory databases (FCA, Companies House) contrasts with the firm's global macro investment strategy, which would typically benefit from direct UK market access
Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The absence of UK Companies House filings for Clarium Capital entities suggests the fund avoided establishing a UK subsidiary structure that would trigger enhanced disclosure requirements under the Companies Act 2006
Date: 2008-2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's $7 billion AUM in 2008 placed it below the threshold for systematic risk designation but above most hedge funds, representing a regulatory 'middle tier' that received less congressional attention than either systemically important institutions or retail-facing entities
Date: 2008-06-15 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations' 2008-2009 short-selling hearings focused primarily on traditional investment banks and market makers rather than hedge funds, creating a systematic gap in scrutiny of alternative investment vehicles that profited from the crisis
Date: 2008-2009 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's continued SEC compliance through Form ADV filings during 2016-2017, years after its documented AUM decline, suggests the fund maintained fiduciary obligations that would have triggered disclosure requirements for any material legal proceedings above $10,000
Date: 2016-2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The structural opacity of hedge fund dispute resolution through mandatory arbitration creates a systematic gap in public accountability for investment performance during crisis periods, with Clarium Capital representing a case study where massive AUM decline occurred without visible investor recourse through public courts
Date: 2008-2011 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's global macro investment strategy, focusing on currencies, commodities, and derivatives, would have limited the visibility of its position changes in public 13F filings, which only capture long equity positions above $100 million
Date: 2002-2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Standard hedge fund limited partnership agreements typically include mandatory arbitration clauses that would route investor disputes away from public court records, making the absence of visible litigation consistent with industry-standard dispute resolution mechanisms rather than absence of investor grievances
Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The 6-year SEC filing gap (2010-2016) followed by resumed filings suggests Clarium Capital maintained some operational capacity below the $100 million 13F reporting threshold, rather than complete liquidation, indicating an orderly wind-down process consistent with redemption-driven rather than court-ordered asset decline
Date: 2010-2016 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's resumption of SEC filings in 2016-2017 after a 6-year gap indicates the fund either increased AUM above reporting thresholds or restructured operations to trigger different regulatory requirements, rather than complete cessation of activities
Date: 2016-2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The 6-year SEC filing gap between 2010-07-26 and 2016-07-22 corresponds precisely with Clarium Capital's documented AUM decline from approximately $7 billion to under $1 billion, suggesting the fund operated below the $100 million 13F reporting threshold during this period while maintaining some level of investment advisory operations
Date: 2010-2016 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's business classification under NAICS 523920 creates a legal barrier to standard federal contracting, but does not preclude participation in emergency financial sector support programs administered by Treasury, Federal Reserve, or FDIC during the 2008 crisis
Date: 2008-06-15 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The absence of Clarium Capital from Congressional hearing witness lists during 2008-2009 financial crisis investigations represents a systematic gap in regulatory scrutiny of successful crisis-period short sellers, despite the fund's documented 57.9% gains contemporaneous with Bear Stearns collapse
Date: 2008-2009 Added: 07 Apr 2026

Date: 2008-2020 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Matt Danzeisen's 2008 arrival at Clarium Capital coincided with the fund's peak AUM period (~$7 billion) and subsequent 85%+ decline, making his potential political contributions a unique lens into employee behavior during hedge fund crisis periods
Date: 2008-2011 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The methodological requirement for multiple entity name searches in FEC databases applies specifically to hedge fund entities due to their common use of 'Management LLC' suffixes for SEC registration purposes while operating under shorter names in practice
Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review FEC employer field searches for Clarium-affiliated donations require temporal filtering to correspond with the fund's active SEC filing periods (2006-2010, 2016-2017), as the 6-year filing gap may indicate reduced operational activity affecting employee political contribution patterns
Date: 2006-2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026

Date: 2006-2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The absence of documented class action litigation against Clarium Capital during its $6+ billion AUM decline (2008-2011) is consistent with standard hedge fund operating agreements that typically mandate individual arbitration and prohibit class action lawsuits
Date: 2008-2011 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's global macro investment strategy structurally limited the representativeness of 13F equity disclosures, as the fund's core positions in currencies, commodities, and derivatives fall outside 13F reporting requirements
Date: 2002-2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The 6-year gap in documented SEC filings between 2010-07-26 and 2016-07-22 suggests Clarium Capital may have fallen below the $100 million 13F reporting threshold during its AUM decline from approximately $7 billion to under $1 billion
Date: 2010-2016 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's business classification under NAICS code 523920 (Portfolio Management) creates a categorical exclusion from standard federal procurement contracts, as this code is not included in typical government acquisition categories

Pending Review Clarium Capital's corporate structure as an SEC-registered investment adviser creates a verifiable legal barrier to direct federal political contributions, distinguishing it from individual principals who can donate personally
Added: 07 Apr 2026

Date: 2010-2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Federal campaign finance law (52 U.S.C. §30118) structurally prohibits hedge fund corporate entities from appearing as direct donors in FEC databases, making Clarium Capital's absence legally mandated rather than discretionary
Date: 2002-present Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Peter Thiel's documented practice of listing different employer affiliations (Clarium Capital, Founders Fund, Palantir Technologies) in FEC records across different time periods creates a methodological requirement for date-range filtering to isolate Clarium-period contributions
Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review FEC contribution records for Clarium-affiliated individuals would span an 11-year period (2006-2017) based on documented SEC filing dates, requiring temporal analysis to accurately attribute contributions to active employment periods
Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The absence of Clarium Capital from Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission proceedings, despite the fund's 57.9% H1 2008 gains from housing shorts during the crisis period, represents a gap in documented regulatory scrutiny of successful crisis-period short sellers

Date: 2016-2017 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The absence of corporate registration records in the search results suggests the entity may be registered under a different name, in a jurisdiction not covered by the search, or structured as a limited partnership rather than a corporation
Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review There is a notable 6-year gap in retrieved SEC filings between 2010 and 2016, which may warrant investigation into fund activity, potential restructuring, or reduced assets under management during this period
Date: 2010-2016 Added: 07 Apr 2026

Date: 2011-01-15 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's 57.9% H1 2008 gain from housing asset short positions occurred during the same period the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations was actively investigating short-selling practices, yet no documented evidence indicates Clarium was among the funds examined

Pending Review Form ADV Part 1A Item 11 filings for Clarium Capital Management LLC would contain any required disclosures of regulatory actions, civil proceedings, or arbitrations against the firm or its management persons, but these specific sections have not been systematically documented in available sources
Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The absence of widely-reported Clarium Capital litigation is consistent with, but does not confirm, absence of confidential arbitration proceedings or privately-settled disputes that hedge fund operating agreements typically mandate
Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review Clarium Capital's decline from approximately $7 billion to under $1 billion in AUM (2008-2011) occurred primarily through investor redemptions following investment losses, with no documented evidence that courts ordered asset freezes, receivership, or investor recovery actions during this period
Date: 2008-2011 Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review As a global macro hedge fund, Clarium's core strategy involved positions in currencies, commodities, and derivatives that would not appear on 13F filings, meaning 13F 'substance' may never have fully reflected the fund's actual investment activity
Date: 2002-present Added: 07 Apr 2026
Pending Review The multi-year gap between established SEC filing dates (2010-07-26 to 2016-07-22) suggests either inconsistent filing or gaps in the documented record that warrant verification

Pending Review Matt Danzeisen's employment at Clarium Capital (2008-onward) makes him a potentially significant non-Thiel data point for analyzing Clarium-affiliated political donations, though his FEC contribution history has not been systematically documented in major reporting
Date: 2008-2020 Added: 07 Apr 2026
