Chris Rokos Net Worth

Chris Rokos has an estimated net worth of $2.3 billion, according to Forbes Real-Time Billionaires, Chris Rokos profile (figures as of October 20, 2026). That is up from $1 billion in 2020.

Chris Rokos is a British hedge fund manager known for macro investing. He is the founder of Rokos Capital Management, a London-based firm launched in 2015. His trading focuses on currencies, interest rates, commodities and equities. Before that, he built his name as a founding partner of Brevan Howard Asset Management. His career in finance also included roles at UBS, Goldman Sachs and Credit Suisse, where he worked as a proprietary trader.

His wealth comes from hedge fund investing and from building his own firm after leaving Brevan Howard. Rokos Capital Management began trading in 2015 and later managed about $12 billion with more than 200 employees, according to Forbes profile notes. Forbes put his net worth at $2.3 billion on its real-time billionaires tracker as of October 20, 2026. That places him among the self-made billionaires in finance and investments.

How Chris Rokos built his fortune

Rokos made his name by trading big macro themes across markets. That means taking positions tied to moves in currencies, interest rates, commodities and equities. After university, he worked at UBS in London, then moved to Goldman Sachs in October 1993. In January 1998, Alan Howard recruited him to Credit Suisse as a proprietary trader. Those roles helped set up the next stage of his career in hedge funds.

In early 2002, Rokos and Alan Howard left Credit Suisse with other directors and started Brevan Howard. Rokos later retired from that firm in 2012 and set up a family office in Mayfair to manage his own wealth. He then founded Rokos Capital Management in 2015. Forbes says the firm now manages some $12 billion and employs more than 200 people, making it the main engine behind his fortune.

What Forbes says about his net worth

Forbes first put Rokos on its World's Billionaires List at $1 billion in 2020. A year later, Forbes estimated him at $1.9 billion. The figure then moved to $1.5 billion in 2022, where it stayed in 2023. Those changes fit the ups and downs that can come with hedge fund investing, where results depend on market calls across rates, currencies, commodities and stocks.

By 2024, Forbes raised its estimate to $2.3 billion, and that same figure appeared again on the 2025 and 2026 World's Billionaires lists. Forbes also showed $2.3 billion on its real-time billionaires tracker in October 2026. The main reason is his stake in Rokos Capital Management, the hedge fund firm he founded in 2015, plus the scale the business reached as it grew into a large London investment operation.
