Just curious. I know a kid out of undergrad who manages like $5m (professors mostly, family is poor). Hayden Capital is another one, pretty sure the founder started that when he was in his mid 20’s.

Nothing like college kids being impressed at someone running a $5M “fund” lol. My parents and in-laws prob have combined retirement assets of around $5M, guess I can say I’m a CIO/PM too if I ran their IRAs/401ks. $5M is not a fund; that’s just someone trading their PA.
$5m is a great amount to start with!! Plenty of funds start with very little capital. I'd kill to have another $5m to manage at my fund. 1-2% on $5m is $50-100k in base fees, add performance on to that and that could be $150ish!
No, plenty of funds 30+ years ago started with very little capital. The market is a completely different universe now.
Santiago Santos just started Inversion Capital and is pretty cracked
That's a private equity firm. We don't respect them under this HF sub.

Khrom started fund at 22 now runs a $1bn+ book
Hamza was 31 when he started Arini. Manages c.$9bn now (4 years later....). Pretty mental for Europe for sure and especially how quickly scaled (does include a bunch of CLO AUM)
