Barbara Ann Bernard '97
Hedge Fund Management
Barbara Ann Bernard, founder & CEO of Wincrest Capital. She has a passion for investing that goes back to her days of growing up in The Bahamas. It was there that a 15-year-old Barbara Ann persuaded legendary value investor Sir John Templeton, a fellow Bahamian resident, to take her on board for the first of what would become a series of summer jobs at Templeton Global Advisors, instilling a fundamental value-oriented investment approach to the public markets. Later, working in investment banking at Goldman Sachs, followed by alternative asset management at Deutsche Bank and Holowesko Partners, she acquired a robust grasp of private market valuation and the hedge fund industry.
Today, she is the portfolio manager of the Wincrest Contraria Fund and the Energy Transition Fund. In terms of private investments, Barbara Ann focuses on and has experience in solar & green hydrogen project development, metals recycling, fusion, and carbon capture and carbon credit development.
