what kind of track record do MMs look for to give you a small sleeve?
Am debating pitching MMs on coming in with a small sleeve. Ran a paper portfolio under a similar high-idio risk model at a competing (non MM) HF and put up HSD RoGMV annually for 2 years. Now looking to put on risk for real, and it stands to reason my best shot is at a MM. I feel confident I can...
