He is known in the business world for his work at the helm of the Mocatta Group in the 1970s and 80s. Under his Chairmanship, in partnership first with Hambros Bank and later Standard Chartered, the Mocatta Group, which was founded in London in 1671, opened offices in New York, Geneva, Hong Kong and other financial centers , and expanded Mocatta’s well-established bullion business into electronic trading of futures and into options in precious metals.

Jarecki rose to prominence as the leader in precious metals options, and became a figure of international importance in the money markets when Mocatta became the principal counterparty in the Hunt brothers’ attempted silver corner in 1980. Mocatta & Goldsmid had previously been involved with stabilizations of the markets under similar circumstances, such as the 1913 rescue of the Indian Specie Bank.

The fund employs the Tangible Asset Portfolio (TAP), Jarecki’s proprietary asset-allocation program, which adapted the theories of Sharpe and Markowitz to commodities trading. He is involved with a number of other business and philanthropic ventures, including Psychogenics, a biotechnology firm based in Tarrytown, New York, which specializes in preclinical neurobiology and in the provision of CNS drug discovery solutions. He serves as Chairman of The Falconwood Corporation, a private investment management firm.
