__NOTOC__ 
Michael Steinhardt is a well-known hedge fund investor and philanthropist. His firm, Steinhardt Partners, achieved an outstanding performance track record of 24% compound average annual returns -- more than double the S&P 500 -- over a 28-year period. Steinhardt achieved this record using a wide variety of investment instruments, including stocks, bonds, long and short options, and currencies. 
Steinhardt closed the hedge fund he founded in 1996 and retired to devote himself solely to philanthropy. He founded The Steinhardt Foundation for Jewish Life, formerly Jewish Life Network/Steinhhardt Foundation, in 1994 to strengthen American Jewish life and to revitalize Jewish identity through educational and cultural initiatives, and to support Hebrew and Jewish literacy. 
He was one of the 16 remarkably successful traders profiled in the 1988 book, Market Wizards by Jack D. Schwager.
== Background ==
Steinhardt was born in 1941 in Mount Kisco, New York. His father, Sol Steinhardt, was a high-stakes gambler, New York's leading jewel fence, and pal of organized crime figures such as Meyer Lansky and "Three Finger" Jimmy Aiello. The younger Steinhardt wrote about his father in his autobiography, No Bull: My Life In and Out of Markets.
Steinhardt and his firm were investigated, along with Salomon Bros. and Caxton Group, for allegedly attempting to corner the market for short-term Treasury notes in the early 1990s. He paid out of his own pocket 75% of the $70 million in civil fines that were part of settling the case with the Securities and Exchange Commission and Justice Department. This was a tiny amount compared to the $600 million his hedge fund made on the Treasury positions.
