Seth Tobias (April 8, 1963 – September 4, 2007) was an American hedge fund manager and financial commentator who made frequent appearances on the CNBC television programs Squawk Box and Kudlow & Company.

Early life and education

[edit]

Tobias was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,[1] on April 8, 1963, and had four brothers, Sam, Spence, Scot and Joshua.[2] He was raised in Plymouth Meeting[3] and graduated from Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School and from Boston University with a B.A. in finance.[1]

Career

[edit]

He was the president of Circle T Partners, a company he founded in 1996 at age 32 after working for five years as portfolio manager and equity trader at JRO Associates.[4]

Tobias' career began by processing trades for a then-unknown portfolio manager named Jim Cramer, who went on to host "Mad Money." Tobias impressed Cramer, but the job didn't last long. Tobias traded up to a position with the much larger JRO Associates hedge fund. Five years later, Tobias headed out on his own.[3][why?]

Personal life

[edit]

Tobias' first wife was Tricia Zocchi of South Jersey.[3] At the time of his death, he was married to Filomena Tobias.[3][5]
