It's definitely not the actual google treasury team.... and knowing the shitstorm that they would get from that getting leaked, I doubt there's a shadow hedge fund running in google.

Maybe not HF but they have a pretty serious group of traders / setup that parallels some WS firms from what I heard too

Yeah, def not a team doing the trades, but more like a finance/trading club within Google (among many other ones they have, like some sports clubs and such). Most big tech companies have that, I bet.

I can confirm that MSFT has a "financial advice" club where people discuss trading strategies and such (among other things). It is just an employee club though, not something those people do as a part of their job responsibilities.

Every large company has a corporate treasury function. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treasury_management

Is that the same sort of idea as Apple’s Braeburn Capital?
