Experienced Portfolio Managers only

Robert Morse said:
A Fund of Fund we work with is looking to add a few select managers that fit this description.

* Strategies that take advantage of the substantial move toward passive investing versus picking single stocks. We are looking to strategies that take advantage of massive inflows into ETFs (both here and abroad), index Funds, etc.

* Strategies that seek to take advantage of outdated and pedestrian strategies. Due to the massive amounts of money in hedge funds, and, the amount of incredibly smart people working within the industry, I think simple strategies that worked for many years are now outdated in much the same what the simple trend-following became outdated. This could include a lot of pedestrian mainstream strategies such as traditional Stat. Arb., fundamental long/short, etc.

* Strategies that utilize proprietary data sets that are unavailable publically for purchase or on Bloomberg, etc.

* Strategies that I am unaware of that could be interesting. I'm interested in keeping an open mind on things like trading environmental attributes, wetland mitigation credits, etc. which are things that have a good story that I haven't heard of before.

Not looking for strategies with beta or directionally oriented strategies. Prefer non-discretionary.

Email me your name, phone number, bio and a description of your strategy and returns. I will not be evaluating these emails but will forward them to the CEO of the fund.

Great opportunity for the right person. Back in the day, folks would have killed for this. Wow.

Just hand over you proven winning strategy for a paycheck - you bring the whole cake and they will dangle an invisible carrot. Who wants to work with a bunch of Wallstreet clowns anyway with a small fund, scraping for a few crumbs? Maybe someone really young buried in massive debt with little hope of ever making it outside corp box is a good fit.

Do you have 100% faith in your abilities to survive as an independent trader? Would it potentially be more lucrative for you?

Yes, i work for a hedge fund so this is my profession. I run my bonus money on my own models also.

To answer your question about lucrativity, I get a fixed percentage of the incentive fees the fund i work for gets, as a yearly bonus. That can amount to a lot of money during good years and depends on external factors such as wether management gives me a large portfolio to manage or not and also the overall firms performance. In order to make the same amount of money by trading only my money, i would need to have a starting capital of 15m to 50m. Which i dont have.

Additionally, i work with very bright guys so i dont have any incentive to work alone in my basement.

For the short trades, you have 4 trades total. One of them lost $725, and the other three together made $4206. How did you derive the Sharpe ratio of 9088 from that distribution?

It`s just an incorrect way Ninja calculate Sharpe.I occasionally see those crazy numbers when testing.

Fuck those guys. How many hours you put in a week? Personally, I would rather trade the open from my basement for a couple hours a day and not look at anyone. If you know your shit and adequately capitalized, you can pull in six figures without a problem. I go to the gym, or jog along the lakefront. I'd rather have my time than make 7 figures.

If i were well capitalized i would rather give it to 10-12 hedge funds and have a diversified portfolio rather than waste my energy on the market.

I "work" maybe 80 hours a week but a third of that is fancy food and afternoon beers, another third is programming and the last third is discussing with colleagues so i wouldnt say its a pain.

I guess its a matter of personnal opinion there's not really any right or wrong.
