Kyle Bass: American Hedge Fund Manager

Improved Essays
Kyle Bass is a very well known American Hedge Fund Manager. Kyle is also a very calculating man that doesn't mind playing the waiting game, if it is going to return big funds. The fact is that Bass is carefully watching the Chinese economy that is currently spiraling out of control. He's got his fingers crossed and praying that the Chinese economy nose dives completely. Bass believes that the Chinese will take major risk to revive the economy. Bass believes taking such big risk will devalue Chinese currency, while the American dollar will rise. Certainly, Bass and his hedge funds have gone through rough times, but if the scenario happens as Bass pictures, his predictions about China will prove true and disprove critics.
