Profession

In 1991, Busson founded EIM Group to provide fund-of-funds management services to the growing institutional hedge fund market. In 2008, EIM was reported to have been a victim of Bernie Madoff’s Ponzi scheme.
In 2001, the FBI asked EIM to help track al Qaeda’s finances, even though the company was not a target of the investigation. In 2013, Busson merged EIM with Swiss investment firm Gottex Fund Management Holdings. In 2015, he was appointed interim executive chairman of Gottex after the previous chairman stepped down.
However, Gottex (renamed LumX) eventually delisted from the SIX Swiss Exchange in 2020 after suffering more than $55 million in losses over the past five years, effectively ending Busson’s era as a prominent hedge fund manager.
Overall, Busson had a significant career in the hedge fund industry, founding EIM and later leading Gottex/LumX. His later years were marked by the challenges of Madoff’s Ponzi scheme and the company’s financial difficulties.
