Seth Tobias (April 8, 1963 – September 4, 2007) was an American hedge fund manager and financial commentator who made frequent appearances on the CNBC television programs Squawk Box and Kudlow & Company.

Early life and education

Tobias was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on April 8, 1963, and had four brothers, Sam, Spence, Scot and Joshua. He was raised in Plymouth Meeting and graduated from Plymouth-Whitemarsh High School and from Boston University with a B.A. in finance.

Career

He was the president of Circle T Partners, a company he founded in 1996 at age 32 after working for five years as portfolio manager and equity trader at JRO Associates.

Tobias' career began by processing trades for a then-unknown portfolio manager named Jim Cramer, who went on to host "Mad Money." Tobias impressed Cramer, but the job didn't last long. Tobias traded up to a position with the much larger JRO Associates hedge fund. Five years later, Tobias headed out on his own.

Personal life

Tobias' first wife was Tricia Zocchi of South Jersey. At the time of his death, he was married to Filomena Tobias.

Death

Tobias died on September 4, 2007, having drowned in his pool. Based on testimony of Billy Ash, an internet psychic with a long criminal history of fraud, Tobias's family initially suspected his wife Filomena of murdering him, leading to a civil lawsuit over Tobias's estate. Police did not consider Mrs. Tobias a suspect, and Mr. Tobias's family ultimately retracted their allegations.
