    the difference in depth of thought about the market despite "i come from a banking background" is night and day. Suhaimi is head and shoulders above but was kind enough to entertain ms sim here.

    What a sensible CEO, talking like a professional money manager.
    So, happy to see that in competitive places like Singapore or even Hong Kong, those with talent do well in finance and banking, irrespective of religion, caste, creed, colour or race.

    Hmmm qns I would have asked:
    1. Succession planning for the firm
    2. Views on lowering the barriers to entry for retail investors who wish to enter the hedge fund space
    3. What do they look for when hiring for talent?
    4. How did Suhaimi transition from a legal background to finance/quant trading ?
    5. What inspires him/motivates him?
    6. Any plans to introduce their strategies using an ETF wrapper?
    7. How does he identify philanthropic causes to give back to? (could be a massive headache picking the right cause + lots of administrative work)
    8. Portfolio allocation between the asset classes
    9. Portfolio rebalancing
    10. How do they measure risk/reward
    11. Views on the current global macro environment
    (Maybe this production is targeted towards the general public and they decided not to go so in depth)

      @Iskandar Aziz I think the production is creative enough to come out with the idea of blending the business talk and food at the same time. It caters not only to business-minded people but it will also attract those food lovers to this talk. Personally, I find this talk is enjoyable to watch (not boring) and at the same time can see what food the luxury restaurant serves (not all can afford to eat there).

    • @alhambra792
      @alhambra792 2 роки тому +3

      I like the talk but i would prefer the interview to be conducted at Quantedge’s office. At least we get to see how big the organisation is, the trading floor where the action happens, all the setup of a quant trading firm. That will be more interesting and blends well with his narration about the topic.

      If you're not a well-known banker, ivy league graduate, etc...
      Then it's nearly impossible to network and raise capital. This is assuming you have a team in the first place that can actually generate consistent alpha for at least 5-10 years before you do so

      1600%, which turns out to be around +/-20% annualised for the past 16 years.
      Thought this was good?
      Now google "renaissance technologies", 66% pa annualised returns since 1988, which gives a total return of 331,000% over the same past 16 years.

    Did they include a risk free rate whe calculating the Sharpe ratio? Quick math I see 20% return with 25-30% annualized volatility.
    Probably this suggest probably theyaee just using leverage to generate these kind of returns given the volatility.

      pretty sure they have a strict set of guidelines other than money when taking on new funds. listening closely to what the ceo has said here, your values probably have to be aligned with theirs i.e. giving away a portion of profits to their social cause etc.
