Making your own HF?
I have a validated record of 2 years with uncorrelated returns of 12% with a sharp > 3. Beta is tunable so not including that here. Am I being stupid to think that I can start my own fund?
more details
- Currently pursuing PhD in maths heavy field from a top research university
- have my own quantitative models
- like to live dangerously
- came to US with a null network of HNWI
Go for it man! I’d totally trust you!
How much money and what fund was this at? If you show prospective LPs your PA and they aren’t yours or your family’s friends then they’re likely going to laugh you out of the room. If you post that at a platform then it shouldn’t be an issue.
Realistically, you might be able to get an entry level position at a HF if you’re lucky..
If you worked at a fund they'd most likely own/steal your alphas eventually.
Why not get a FANG job using your tech PhD, rake in $500k low risk cash flow each year, and compound that by running strats on your own money?
