Martin ShkreliHOST
I should say fees are always the most important thing and I'd say that hedge fund would much rather be a 20 billion dollar fund with lower performance than a 2 billion dollar fund with high performance and if you do the math makes a lot of sense pedigree is certainly still an important predictor of success not the only predictor but it's it's important out there I want to mention this trend and when we go to the hedge fund we're going to be talking about today called Viking this trend of more and more hedge funds being involved in private equity is very important I think that without this sort of shift is emblematic of an important systematic factor in hedge funds, which is a search for outperformance that is coming up, often coming up dry.
