I stopped reading responses to this thread as they were not connected to the initial question.

That's a sharpe of 1.5 though, it's very very good.

Yes it's a Long-Vol fund, not a surprise that they're doing well.

How come you stopped trading since Sept ?

Options give you a delta exposure and stat arb is a very niche strat that's often applied in an HFT context. Most HF try to hedge their beta exposure to the maket by keeping a book 50% short 50% long (hence they're called Long/Short Equity).

No it's not. That's what eikon's tried to do.

How do you "stay neutral" without having the same exposure of longs and shorts in a book of equities ?

Let me guess, the calls are mainly for long signals in the mother of all bull stock markets ?

If it was real, I doubt he would need anyone after 17 years of trading @ 60% p.a. ;)

I do not understand what value would a mentor get from teaching you from the ground up how to be profitable ? Unless you have a hefty budget as a tuition fee, you will likely end up with some scammer. What quantitative skills do you have ?

Dude you don't need a board of people you can be the only director. It is completely fine to have a corporation that trades its own money, there is no hypothetical corp., you're investing asset into a corporation whos then sole activity is to invest in the market. Just make sure that your...

Yes but Carlson has a ton of employees, just on LinkedIn you can find 170 of them. Anyone that touches money is usually pay 250k$+ (traders, portfolio managers, etc), some portfolio managers getting 500k - 1m$ in good year. So at the end of the day, without performance fee, the shareholders of...

Nobody pays 2 and 20.... for soon 10 years now you're happy if you get 0.5% and 15%

Actually, @Robby Luca will have better answers if he asks what's your annualized sharpe ratio. Comparing annualized percentage return on derivative markets is a proof of a lack of basic understanding of risk/rewards.

I love this guy...

The reality is that the hedge fund game is not about performance but about marketing. Even if you show great numbers, you still won't attract (enough) capital.

Where are you going to find the first 50m$ for your fund ? If your answer is anything but "I have a seed partner that can write a check for that amount" then forget about it. Running a fund has extremely high fixed costs and this is probably the worst time out of the past 25 years to launch a...
