Eton Park Capital Management was founded in November 2004 by former Goldman Sachs partner Eric Mindich as a hedge fund that invests in the public and private markets. Up to 30% of the fund can be invested in private market transactions, and investors in the fund generally have committed their capital for between three and five years - considerably longer than the quarterly redemption notices that are characteristic of many hedge funds.

In November 2007, the $300 million R6 Capital Management fund and Eton Park announced that R6 would wind down its business and transfer its assets to Eton Park.[1] Ralph F. Rosenberg, head of R6, joined Eton Park to focus on credit, distressed investing and real estate. On January 1, 2008, the R6 Capital Management team joined Eton Park.[2]

As of December 2007, its fund size is over $10 billion. Some of its investments include GMR Infrastructure, Jai Corp, and a 5% stake in Reliance Capital[3][4], which are all Indian corporations.

The company owns a number of internet domains (etonpark.com[5], etonparkcapitalmanagement.com[6], and others) but has no public website.
