He later interned with Jim Rogers, worked for short-seller James Chanos, and then joined Soros Fund Management in 1991. <\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s when Bessent made one of his most famous wagers. While at the firm\u2019s London office, he helped engineer a short against the British pound in 1992, netting Soros a profit of more than $1 billion. In the U.K., the trade is infamous and led to \u201cBlack Wednesday,\u201d when the pound was de-linked from European currencies.<\/p>\n<p>After working for Soros, he became\u00a0a senior partner at Protege Partners and then started his own firm but had to return clients\u2019 funds in 2005, the <em>Journal<\/em> reported. <\/p>\n<p>In 2011, he returned to Soros and served as chief investment officer for the hedge fund turned family office. During his second stint, he\u00a0made about $10 billion in profit\u00a0for Soros, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-11-22\/trump-picks-scott-bessent-as-treasury-secretary&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjG_I6E_fKJAxXcH0QIHTIRJQoQvOMEKAB6BAgWEAE&amp;usg=AOvVaw0cl-zzNPekLWOwoVYVk1RP\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"sc-93594058-0 fowfrQ  \" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?sa=t&amp;source=web&amp;rct=j&amp;opi=89978449&amp;url=https:\/\/www.bloomberg.com\/news\/articles\/2024-11-22\/trump-picks-scott-bessent-as-treasury-secretary&amp;ved=2ahUKEwjG_I6E_fKJAxXcH0QIHTIRJQoQvOMEKAB6BAgWEAE&amp;usg=AOvVaw0cl-zzNPekLWOwoVYVk1RP\" rel=\"noopener\">according to Bloomberg<\/a>. Among his big bets was a short against Japan\u2019s yen that produced a $1 billion windfall in 2013.<\/p>\n<p>He left in 2015 to launch Key Square, which makes bets on global macroeconomic trends, and\u00a0raised $4.5 billion, including $2 billion from Soros.

Returns were mixed from 2017 to 2022 but notched double-digit gains in 2023 and 2024, according to Reuters. <\/p>\n<p>This year, like in 2016, Key Square bet that U.S. stocks and the dollar would jump after a Trump victory, contributing to the firm\u2019s big 2024 profit, the report said. Despite the recent returns, Key Square has seen assets under management decline to $577 million as of December 2023 from a\u00a0peak of $5.1 billion at the end of 2017, the report said.<\/p>\n<p>Under a prior agreement to return his money, Soros took back most of his capital from Key Square in 2018 and he no longer has any money managed by Bessent, sources told Reuters.<\/p>\n<p>Key Square didn\u2019t immediately comment on the Reuters story.<\/p>\n<p>Bessent\u2019s experience in finance helped him earn <a href=\"https:\/\/fortune.com\/2024\/11\/23\/scott-bessent-treasury-secretary-nomination-trump-fiscal-hawk-wall-street-reaction\/\" target=\"_self\" class=\"sc-93594058-0 fowfrQ  \" aria-label=\"Go to https:\/\/fortune.com\/2024\/11\/23\/scott-bessent-treasury-secretary-nomination-trump-fiscal-hawk-wall-street-reaction\/\">positive reactions from Wall Street<\/a> after he was nominated to lead the Treasury Department.
