Financial services-focused hedge funds?

Hey all - hoping the forum can help me put together a list of financials-focused hedge funds. Looking to move from another buy side role in the next year, would be great to have a list put together in advance. Thanks for your help.

Interested too. Only one I've heard of is PL Capital but it's also activist

Any reason why you're solely interested in financials focused HFs and not HFs with a financials sector? Seems like there's not many funds that are interested in investing in financials let alone one solely focused on financials

 

I’d be happy to find one with a financials sleeve, it just seems that people who do not follow or are not active in financials tend to avoid the sector for specific reasons. Thought a focused fund might be interesting.
