Biography

In 1999, Michael Hintze started London-based hedge-fund firm CQS, which was led by the flagship Directional Opportunities fund.

Hintze sold most of CQS' assets to Canadian investment firm Manulife in 2024 and started a new firm called Deltroit with his own capital.

Born in China to Russian parents, Hintze was raised in Australia and served a 3-year stint in the army before making his way to London in the 1980s.

He is a noted supporter of the arts and sciences and was granted Knighthood in 2013 in recognition of his charitable contributions in the U.K.

He maintains a connection to his home country through his MH Premium Farms, which owns a portfolio of agricultural properties in Australia.
