Sussman's career in finance began in 1958, when, at the age of 12, he made a sixfold return on a $300 investment in the stock of Michigan Sugar, by correctly predicting that the Cuban Revolution would disrupt sugar supplies and drive up the price of sugar commodities.{{citation |url= |title=Hedged bets.

In 1981, Sussman founded Paloma Partners, a Greenwich, Connecticut-based hedge fund with mostly institutional clients.{{cite book|author=Barbara T. Dreyfuss|title=Hedge Hogs: The Cowboy Traders Behind Wall Street's Largest Hedge Fund Disaster|publisher=Random House|date=2013|pages=82–83, 92}} A number of affiliated funds were established for both for U.S. investors (Paloma Partners Institutional Investors, Capital Preservation Partners, and European Merger Fund) and non-U.S. investors (Paloma International Fund, Capital Preservation Partners Limited, and European Merger Fund Limited for non-U.S. persons). As a money manager, Sussman sought to keep fund strategies and management targeted rather than sprawling. Paloma's culture was risk-averse, and Sussman sought to insulate the funds from market volatility. Sussman pioneered the approach of minimizing risk by "dividing assets among independent investment professionals and demanding absolute transparency of their holdings." Paloma achieved a profit in 15 out of its first 18 years. Among Paloma's traders was Nicholas Maounis, who later formed Amaranth Advisors, to which Sussman provided seed money.{{cite book|author=Barbara T.
