Thank you for your great content. Could you please make a video explaining the most common vocabulary or terminology used in investment banks? For example '' investing short' or 'the book'. thanks
Can you please make a video on Consultancy vs Investment banking or Banking industry for the confused graduates like me. It'll be very helpful, Thank you!!! Love your work!
Thank u so much.. hedge funds were never this easy to understand
I came here after running out of Google searches. Thank you so much for simplifying it! Wishing you all the best, from your new subscriber 👍
Thanks!
Hi Afzal, thank you for the video, much appreciated. Please advise when the fee is paid on the hedge fund, the beginning or at the end of the year?
Nicely explained
Great content! Been following you only the past few months but I’ve learned a lot from your videos! Thanks Afzal
Please make a video on FRM, and CFA Vs FRM
I am always waiting for your videos
Mr Afzal to what extent is financial modelling skills useful in the field of investment banking
This video made me want to invest in hedge funds at the same time it was explaining me that I never will be able to.
Thank you for the perfect explanation 🙏
Thanks for watching! 👍🏽
You just helped me understand what’s happening with Robinhood and Citadel right now.
Looks so easy to learn mate. Idk if U making it to look like so, or it's something that need to be checked. However, the interest is way higher NOW. Congrats!!!
Thank you for the video. Very informative.
Fantastic explanation!
Hey Afzal,
I'm currently planning to send an application over to Goldman's IBD/AM between 2 regions. I can apply for 3 roles (IBD, AM EMEA and IBD APAC) but only one cover letter is allowed. How would you go about structuring the cover letter?
Truly good explanation.
Thx-Fathima
Great Information!
I learned so much!
thank you! very useful
Video on asset classes! Especially fixed income
The only thing that confuses me is the negative bets and how they get money from that. (is it basically predicting a company to fail?) I'm really new to all of this so I am probably way off, but everything else made perfect sense.
if they expect a company's shares to decline in value they will sell now or SHORT (using borrowed shares) and buy it back later at a lower price ie sell at 9 buy at 6 later earn 3. hope this helps :-)
Can you share on Market microstructure effects on transaction prices?
Hey there! I didn't know anything about hedge funds but after watching this my concept is clearer than before. I do have a question though. What do you mean by financial conglomerate affiliated hedge funds or FCAHFs for short? Are they hedge funds associated with/put out by companies like Citadel?
Great information to have in mind
Hii sir, could you please do a video about frm as i am in the first year Bcom and want to do my cfa afterwards so would it be a good decision to start for frm from now ??
Facts. Thanks for the great vid sir.
Nice explanation well
Where do I start.learning about this and financing
Fantastic video. Thankyou.
Thank you 😊
do hedge funds play with liverage of 1:50 or 1:100 with forex like retail trader
Newbie here. I feel like this video helped me understand the concept more. How does the firm on Shark Tank compare to a hedge fund?? Thanks for putting out great content!
Nice presentation.
We tip our hats sir....
Any online courses or certification for hedge funds or alternative investment other than CAIA.? Thanks in advance

7:55 fee structures.
THANKS DUDE!
Thanks
Superb Sir 👍
Great video as always very informative. Can you please do a video on your personal investment strategies? Thank you in advance🙏🏾
Hi Afzal,
Pretty much unrelated to the video but wanted to know your opinion between the CFA IMC and CISI IAD in terms of a greater prospect.
IAD had a focus on securities but the CFA has a bigger reputation? Not sure which one to choose
I'll be starting as a 1st-year student at Lancaster. I've already finished Level 3 in International wealth & investment certificate for CISI.
Career progression- Fund/Portfolio Management
Degree- Economics
I think you could do some videos on consultancy
Any good long term investments to invest in?
Assalomu aleykum
Again I am glad to watch you. Thank you for informative content.
Thank you
best explanation on YT
Cheers!
Excellent
Do Hedge funds Trade Currencies and do they have a Propriatary Trading desk?
Yes ...
Best brother
20% fee on principal amount or profits above fixed %age return(5% in this scenario)?
profits.. if it was principal the fees would be higher than the profits themselves. so performance fee is a percentage of profits above a certain threshold(5% in this case)
Hi Afzal
If a Hedge Fund makes a return of 5-6% per year. Is this considered good?
Do only the Portfolio managers make that 2% what about the analyst and associates?
Attention All. This is an amazing video. Best online investment company for everyone.
Thank you Hussein. What happens to the Investor's capital when Hedgefunds lose money? Do the hedgefund take any responsibility in the loss?
I'd be interested to hear about your personal investments strategy. Would you recommend someone young with little knowledge of the financial markets to put money into index funds?
Jamie Acton the short answer to that would be no
Is it possible to owed a savvy hedge fund where up to $10000 can be invested by the investors
Are jobs on wall street really decreasing? next video on this please!!
You know why I here
#GME
Great explanation man!
Earned yourself a sub!
Thanks man 👊🏽
Are those all your books ?
Just subscribed bro and liked. Love your breakdown I'm also from The UK, London. My plan is to launch a fund next year and was wondering if you had knowledge on how to get investment capital either from retail or institutions. Regardless we have to meet up face to face !
I'm doing exactly the same thing. Absorbing a ton of info and knowledge. If you wanna team up let me know as hedge funds aren't just built with 1 person. Also I'm in London
Brilliant
Thanks!
What does it mean to go "long or short"?
I‘m not sure but i believe to go short would mean to be more active with your investments and focusing on fast success. Selling and Rebuying in a short timespan. To go long on the other hand implies a more sat-back way of handling your investments, you aim for long term success so your investment pays off after several years of waiting
Thanks! Can you make more complex videos as well though? I have been in the financial world for years but almost all the videos are superficial. For example perhaps there can be made a video about how to set up a hedge fund in a legal way, how do hedge funds go about picking financial instruments etc
Big up...
Hey Afzal, great video!
Can you do a video about prep courses?
For exampme if there is a higher chance of getting an internship if you got some certificates like these from FE Training, WallStreetPrep or Corporate finance institute.
I think Business cards would be an interesting video
What about them?
@@AfzalHussein Like at what point of your career you should make them, what general policies there are when making them etc.
Where are from you...??
are hedge funds haram? Please let me know and you mentioned the word betting a lot. Is it gambling money or is there genuine analysis done when executing the trades? Regards
This what my main concern is

Would getting a graduate role be less subscribed than a position at a bank like Goldman
Supercars 27 you can get graduate role at Goldman aswell....
love this guys channel hes fuckin awesome
Who can recommend a reliable and trustworthy trader that I can learn from ..I need to be mentored
I made a lot of profit trading with Carlos Beckham his techniques and strategies are too easy to learn I recommend him to all beginners
Wow I'm thrilled to see his other investors online
..I never knew he was this famous... Last week I made profit of $11300 from an initial deposit of $1000.. using his strategies ..it felt like magic
Wow I'm happy to see good reviews.... How can I contact him
Do you buy a book a day, sheeeet, I sub now yes.
That Maxwell intro 🤦🏼♂️
This is not really accurate. A hedge fund is a specific type of legal structure and not strategy. You can have long/short hedge funds and UCITS funds that can (and do) follow the exact same mandate. The only difference being the risk and regulatory burden as dictated by the legal structure.
I'm intrested in you channel
Thou knowest what you ye are explaining.
♥️👍🏻
