History

Robbins left Omega Advisors in 2000 to form Glenview Capital Management, which is named after the suburban Chicago area where he started playing hockey at age five.[9][10]

Investment products and strategies

Glenview’s investing style is most commonly tied to the category of Growth at a Reasonable Price or “GARP” and focuses on companies in industries that are stable, predictable and steady, with recurring revenue streams or entrenched market positions.[11][12][13] Glenview’s flagship funds which launched in 2001 employ a long/short strategy focused on investments in equity and fixed income securities. In 2007, Glenview launched the Glenview Opportunity or “GO” funds which employ a purely opportunistic investment approach. Across these two strategies Glenview manages the following investment funds: Glenview Capital Partners, L.P., Glenview Institutional Partners, L.P., Glenview Capital Partners (Cayman), Ltd., Glenview Capital Opportunity Fund, L.P. and Glenview Offshore Opportunity Fund, Ltd.[2][5][14]

Healthcare

Glenview holds investments in a broad range of industries but started making significant health care investments in 2004, after President George W. Bush signed the Medicare Modernization Act.[6][13] Some of its notable health care investments have included Tenet Healthcare (NYSE: THC), Health Management Associates (NYSE: HMA), Community Health Systems (NYSE: CYH), Humana (NYSE: HUM), Thermo Fischer Sceientific and McKesson Corporation (NYSE: MCK).[6][11][13][15] As of July 2015, the firm had realized and paper gains of $3.2 billion and assets under management of $11.8 billion.[16]

In 2013, it was reported that Glenview was the 69th largest hedge fund in the world[17] with 72 employees.[6]
