  • Michael W. "Mike" Vranos is an American hedge fund founder and manager who in the 1990s was referred to by some as the "most powerful man on Wall Street. " In 1993, he reportedly earned $15 million from trading mortgage bonds. Fortune Magazine once called him "one of the best bond traders on Wall Street. " At the end of 2007 he continued to be regarded as "the best-known mortgage-bond trader on Wall Street" according to the Wall Street Journal. He is remembered for heading collateralized mortgage obligation (CMO) trading in the early 1990s at Kidder Peabody at a time when they dominated the marketplace. The firm was caught up in a bear market that crippled the firm causing top management to be jettisoned. He left to start his own firm, Ellington Management Group in late 1994. Ellington was affected by the Long-Term Capital Management debacle. The firm has survived with Vranos as its leader. Vranos continues to market various fund offerings to the public.
