Sir Paul Roderick Clucas Marshall (born 2 August 1959) is a British investor.
Paul Roderick Clucas Marshall was born on 2 August 1959 in Ealing, London, England, the son of Mary Sylvia Clucas (Hanlin) and Alan Marshall. He was educated at St John's College, Oxford, and holds an MBA from INSEAD Business School.
He is the co-founder and Chairman of Marshall Wace LLP, one of Europe's largest hedge fund groups. Marshall Wace was founded in 1997 by Paul Marshall and Ian Wace. Funds managed by Marshall Wace have won multiple investment awards and the company has become one of the world's leading managers of equity long/short strategies. He is a member of the Hedge Fund Standards Board.
Marshall had a longstanding involvement with Britain's Liberal Democrats Party. He was research assistant to Charles Kennedy, MP, former leader of the Liberal Democrats in 1985 and stood for Parliament for the SDP/Liberal Alliance in Fulham in 1987. He has made appearances on current affairs programmes such as BBC Radio 4's Any Questions.
In 2004 Marshall co-edited 'The Orange Book' with David Laws, MP. Chapters were written by various upcoming Liberal Democrat politicians including Nick Clegg, Chris Huhne, Vince Cable MP, Ed Davey MP and Susan Kramer (Neither Clegg, Huhne nor Kramer were MPs at the time.) Laws, describing the pairs' ambition in publishing The Orange Book, wrote "We were proud of the liberal philosophical heritage of our party. But we both felt that this philosophical grounding was in danger of being neglected in favour of no more than ‘a philosophy of good intentions, bobbing about unanchored in the muddled middle of British politics’" The book received initial controversy when launched but both it and the term 'Orange Bookers' to describe those sympathetic to its outlook continue to be frequently referenced to describe a strand of thought within the Liberal Democrats.
