About Us

Soros Capital Management LLC (SCM), founded in 2017 by Robert Soros, manages the investment capital of Robert and his direct lineal descendants. Based in New York City, we operate as a single‑family office investing across industries, markets, and asset classes.

We are a lean, focused, and collaborative team aligned around long‑term results and a strong emphasis on professionalism, transparency, and accountability.
