I love this short story from the late John Bogle (the founder of Vanguard)… At a party given by a billionaire on Shelter Island, the late Kurt Vonnegut informs his pal, the author Joseph Heller, that their host, a hedge fund manager, had made more money in a single day than Heller had earned from his wildly popular novel Catch 22 over its whole history. Heller responds, “Yes, but I have something he will never have… Enough.” Recognising the concept of ‘enough’ is so much more important than relentless wealth accumulation with no end goal in mind. A well-crafted financial plan guides you toward reaching your ‘enough’, and a good financial planner will make sure you recognise it when you get there! #financialindependence

Izzy Englander’s Millennium Management is in discussions to invest billions of dollars with Schonfeld Strategic Advisers in a rare partnership deal between two industry heavyweights, Bloomberg reported. Schonfeld, with about $13bn of assets under management, would handle money for Millennium, which oversees about $60bn. Investors have been turning to multistrategy hedge fund firms like Millennium, Citadel, and Schonfeld in recent years in the hope that their traders will help them deliver consistent returns in increasingly volatile markets. Armed with billions of new money, they are locked in a battle for talent to continue their return to power. #MergersAcquisitionsDivestitures #PrivateEquity #Investment

Me and Gav. (I don't know if I am allowed to call him Gav, but as he has an AC/DC pinball machine in his office, I guess it's OK).

We’re always happy to provide context on the biggest developments happening within the #hedgefund industry.   While we never comment on the performance and specifics of individual funds, we have noted recently that this year is shaping up to be one of the strongest for new fund launches in a long time. The latest story from Hema Parmar at Bloomberg illustrates these trends quite nicely.   In the context of Bobby Jain’s lofty (and so far successful) pitch, Jon Caplis shares perspectives on all the moving parts and how novel it is to launch a fund with this level of portfolio managers across multiple asset classes and strategies. “Clearly, a lot of thought and capital has been put into this launch. Still, the first few months will be closely watched.”   We’re closely monitoring all new launches this year and will include updates in our monthly Pivotal Point Of View!   https://lnkd.in/erRsicWZ
