I started the Hedge Funds Club in 2005 to help our industry evolve by getting people in front of the people they need to know in order to succeed. Why? Because the hedge fund industry is more about people than numbers. No one cares about the numbers unless they like you first. People do business with people, not numbers. Find great people and great numbers will eventually follow. Great numbers are an outcome of great people finding each other. At the Hedge Funds Club, we focus on people. It’s where great people meet other great people and build businesses together. #people #hedgefunds #notnumbers #alternativeinvestments

The Most Interesting Job in Financial Markets In my opinion, macro trading is the most interesting segment in financial markets. Trading any financial instrument requires a good understanding of mathematics and psychology. But macro trading also requires a deep grasp of politics, history, and geography. As a perk, it is perhaps the most transparent segment of the market too. Trading illiquid stocks, bonds, or cryptos may be fabulously profitable, if you are an INSIDER or a PROFESSIONAL in some particular field. But if you are "just" a history or geography buff who follows the current geopolitical events, go for macro trading instead :) P.S. Do not trade based on your ideology or "values". It does not work :) #trading #investing #macro #geopolitics #economy #history #geography #portfoliomanagement #hedgefunds

The Competitive World of Hedge Fund Talent Acquisition The hedge fund industry has significantly grown, adding $3 trillion since 2008, leading to a high demand for talent. Hedge funds use specialized training programs combining classroom teaching, mentoring, and practical money management to groom new talent. Early signs suggest these programs are effective, with notable success stories from Citadel, Point72, and Barclays. The acceptance rate for these hedge fund training programs is just 0.5%, making them harder to get into than Harvard or MIT, which have acceptance rates around 4%. Candidates need exceptional talent and luck to be accepted into these highly competitive programs. #HedgeFundTalent #FinanceIndustry #EliteTraining #CareerInFinance #InvestmentSuccess
