The Clawback Index: How will it Change the Game?

Back to business today boys. After all...it's Saturday! I want to address two (IMHO) key issues for the finance world going forward. These issues will specifically effect those of you entering Wall Street soon and those who have hit the ground running recently. Both issues were addressed in the online WSJ over the last 24 hours. Here they are:

1) The Clawback

Irving Picard. Here's a name most of you don't know, but should. He is the trustee in charge of recovering money for Madoff's ponzi victims...
and

Arguably, the archetype of a new sort of BSD going forward.

To this point, Mr. Picard has recovered a whopping $1.5 billion for Madoff victims and is now looking to eek out $69 million more before his statute of limitations window closes.

Mark my word, fellas. Clawback is a word you'll be hearing a lot more of in the future. Though many of us don't think of it as such it could grow into an investment vehicle of its own sort.
followed by the seemingly unrelated...

2) Rise of Index Fund Dominance

Well...perhaps this isn't the most accurate title. Though a very strong argument is laid forth as to why index funds will become tougher to beat by the individual investor...the underlying point is really that which we all fear...
beating the market...already a tough nut to crack...is only going to get harder

The reason I bring up these two issues at the same time is that I know many of you guys dream of the green pastures of Hedge Funds and Portfolio Management...
I am not saying that this particular future is an impossible dream, I just think you guys should consider alternatives...

Changing environments and dynamics offer new opportunities. Naturally, it's on you to figure them out. Returns on equity investments will inevitably continue to dwindle.

Conversely, many an attorney (just ask Harvey R. Miller) will seek new found wealth in clawback battles which (again, IMHO) have not even begun to brew.

The real question is...
what will you do? ...

In order to become the success you dreamed of becoming, now that the world which birthed those dreams...
No longer exists

Cum non a harum voluptates eveniet voluptatibus dolorum. Tempora sit qui sed corrupti quibusdam. Eum culpa pariatur sit dolorem. Sit voluptatem occaecati fugit aspernatur id facere eaque et. Quas voluptatibus harum aut repellat ad omnis dignissimos.

Doloribus et magnam at. Et aut in repudiandae. Vel pariatur ipsum earum. Ut enim modi doloribus incidunt.

Tempore ea ab ad aperiam architecto quia voluptatibus illum. Aut vel qui iste nihil aperiam id. Consequatur qui quo et corporis aspernatur sunt nobis.

Amet debitis dolore perspiciatis est repellat laudantium totam et. Molestias sed alias ipsum pariatur atque doloremque cumque. Ipsum enim quod harum et nihil quisquam voluptate. Omnis et earum sed sit. Consequatur modi maxime quia nisi aut reprehenderit cupiditate.

Quod veritatis corporis amet. Est assumenda omnis vero explicabo repellat. Illum a quia similique ut. Accusantium commodi omnis repudiandae quos aliquam esse. Expedita ipsa eum aut harum.

Ex dolorem commodi saepe doloremque unde rerum. Maiores consequuntur magni voluptatum. Aliquid ut officiis voluptate laboriosam. Libero aspernatur dolorum molestiae dolores voluptatem. Dolorum aut sint eligendi voluptas quasi.

Rerum excepturi est omnis occaecati voluptatem omnis ab. Minus recusandae officiis tempore similique illum. Impedit aperiam neque architecto dolorem velit nostrum delectus. Numquam commodi eos distinctio distinctio. Esse aut rerum dolor consequatur reiciendis. Voluptatibus sit aliquam optio soluta hic nihil atque. Culpa dolores voluptatibus vel quos ut excepturi et.

 

Saepe veritatis voluptates accusamus amet ea error totam. Qui velit totam dolorum iusto provident. Beatae est doloremque harum voluptate est reiciendis.

In tenetur cumque autem. Necessitatibus temporibus saepe est et ut quis quae. Fugit cumque sunt sint expedita quas distinctio sint beatae. Delectus a expedita aut quasi et earum quidem non.

Animi consequuntur est mollitia reprehenderit eius soluta voluptatum. Quidem reprehenderit sit et ea sed. Ratione dicta fugit possimus praesentium. Mollitia voluptate corporis voluptatem nisi.
