Nepotism - his dad is/was the president of HBK
Tbh I think any PM posting on X has too much time on his hands
What have you done intern?
it fucking grinds my gears when people spend time on this site shitting on other people. Yes there will be people with some family help or nepotism, or other advantages (being tall, good looking, whatever). Who cares, focus on your shit and your own success. It’s out of your control and makes you seen like a tool for talking trash. This industry is toxic because everyone wants to make themselves seem smarter bc of their own insecurities and attack those who got lucky or were successful otherwise
also how many rich kids do nothing but scam on tik tok or burn out of college? Dad is rich does not make you automatic founder of a hedge fund
I don’t think OP was intentionally shitting on the guy. I think OP is just confused and intrigued about how this guy managed to launch a fund of size with barely any experience. And it doesn’t help that his pitches seem just OK. So it just feels like things don’t add up.
It’s kind of crazy you’re paralleling being good looking to this extreme example of clear nepotism. Good for the guy for running the fund but you don’t get respect from me if your dad just bankrolled your whole fund. Obviously better than some rich nepo kid who does nothing but is that the comparison here?
Think it’s pretty obvious there’s zero chance any of us would know a thing about this guy if his dad didn’t help him. He’d have to grind at Citadel and prove his worth before spinning out and raising capital like how everyone else does. But whatever because if none of us had to worry about money, obviously we’d do the same thing. It’s just a bit of a joke to respect someone as an investor with 5 years of experience in the business.
Edit: the funny thing is that in this case, his dad being rich really did actually result in him automatically becoming a hedge fund founder.
yeah I didn't mean to shit on him for being rich/nepo, I didn't know. i was just genuinely curious if there was any other reason how he launched a fund. it seems like you could probably find tons of other PMs of better quality who can't spin out and launch tomorrow. now this makes sense tho.
totally fine with nepos.
edit: i don't mean to be an ass but you can go on his website and read his ideas and have your own opinions.
Just put the fries in the bag Connor
What a lazy bit of seething lol
a couple years ago he had his intern/analyst/slave crowd make a huge deck on like 100 massive stock winners
wrote a shitton on why they were successful businesses and drawing conclusions on how to analyze the market
and laid out a whole thesis on how to find more of them going forward
look back on this deck today and 90% of them are down 90% because turns out they were all shitcos that ran during COVID/post COVID
tells you a lot about him as an investor
I was surprised at the time that no one called out that deck for being a massive exercise in survivorship bias
41%/31% gross/net p.a. since 2018 not impressive?
