Chi-fu Huang (born January 27, 1955) was a professor in financial economics. He is best known for his work in modeling of swaps and derivative securities. Once in charge of the Finance doctorate program at MIT, Huang has since left academia behind and found limited success in the private sector.

Huang was initially hired to Goldman Sachs as the global head of fixed income derivatives research. After a short two-year tenure, Huang was recruited by John Meriwether to LTCM where he headed the Asia trading team. Two years later, Huang moved to Tokyo, Japan to start the Tokyo office of LTCM. When LTCM collapsed in 1999, Huang left to start his own hedge fund - Platinum Grove Asset Management (then named Oak Hill Platinum Partners) - with LTCM partner Myron Scholes. Huang's hedge fund employed similar fixed income arbitrage that John Meriwether pioneered at LTCM, and was a major fixed income hedge fund, until its collapse in 2008. ^[1]
