Also interesting is that there are three individuals listed from the same organization: Anne Dinning, Julius Gaudio and Max Stone of DE Shaw. According to the Fortune Article DE Shaw was one of the groups running $177M in hedge funds for Robin Hood.

Quote from the article: "In fact, nonprofits around the country study and borrow from Robin Hood's programs, and copycats have sprung up in London and San Francisco."

The document is titled "Public-Private Partnership - Financial Metrics for Assistance"

About Glenn Dubin:

Glenn Russell Dubin was born to a middle-class Jewish family in the Washington Heights section of upper Manhattan.[2] He is the oldest son of Harvey and Edith Dubin. His father, a Russian Jew, was a taxi driver who later worked in dress manufacturing.[2] His mother was an Austrian Jewish immigrant who worked as a hospital administrator.[3][4][2]

Dubin attended public school at Washington Heights' P.S. 132 and went on to Stony Brook University, where he graduated in 1978 with a degree in economics. He was also a member of the school’s football team and lacrosse club.[5]

Dubin began his career in finance as a retail stock broker at E. F. Hutton & Co. in 1978. He was joined in 1984 by childhood friend Henry Swieca, and the pair started Dubin & Swieca, an early "fund of funds" business that constructed multi-manager hedge fund portfolios guided by the principles of modern portfolio theory. In 1992 they started Highbridge Capital Management with $35 million in capital, naming the firm after the 19th Century aqueduct that connects Washington Heights with the Bronx.

Highbridge Capital Management is an institutional alternative-asset management company which, together with its affiliates, manages approximately $30 billion in capital. The firm is based in New York with offices in London and Hong Kong.

In late 2004, J.P. Morgan Asset Management—a division of JPMorgan Chase—purchased a majority interest in Highbridge.[6] In July 2009,

J.P. Morgan Asset Management completed its purchase of substantially all remaining shares of the firm—a transaction that was reputedly worth more than $1.3 billion.[7]

Following the Highbridge/J.P. Morgan partnership, Highbridge announced in October 2010 the purchase of a majority interest in Gávea Investimentos, a leading alternative-asset management company in Brazil. Gávea was co-founded in 2003 by Chairman and Chief Investment Officer Arminio Fraga, former President of the Central Bank of Brazil.

In October 2012, it was announced that Glenn Dubin, Paul Tudor Jones and a group of commodity market luminaries were to buy the merchant energy operation Louis Dreyfus Highbridge Energy ("LDH Energy"). Founded in 2006 as a joint venture between the Louis Dreyfus Group and Highbridge Capital Management, the new company is called Castleton Commodities International, LLC where Dubin is Chairman and lead shareholder.[8]

In 1987, Dubin was asked by fellow hedge fund manager and close friend Paul Tudor Jones to join him and Peter Borish in a venture philanthropy project Jones had conceived and started. The resulting Robin Hood Foundation has raised and granted more than $2 billion to fight poverty in New York City

* Dubin is also a trustee of the Mt. Sinai Medical Center. He and his wife funded the Dubin Breast Center at Mt. Sinai in 2010

* On April 19, 2012 Dubin and his wife Eva signed The Giving Pledge, created by Bill Gates and Warren Buffett.

* On August 9, 2019, courts unsealed documents relating to child sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein. In the documents, Virginia Roberts states that Epstein forced her to have sex with Dubin

In 1994, Dubin married Eva Andersson, a medical doctor, and the couple has three children (two daughters and son). Dr. Andersson-Dubin was born in Sweden where she was educated and began her medical training at the [Karolinska Institute] School of Medicine in Stockholm. She received her M.D. from UCLA in 1989.[14] Dr. Andersson-Dubin is also a former Miss Sweden (1980) and 4th runner-up in Miss Universe 1980. The Dubins live in Manhattan and own property in Colorado's Gunnison County as well as in Sweden.
