Will AI replace finance jobs? Wrong question. The real question is: What parts of the job get automated — and what becomes more valuable when they do? In this clip, we get into the brutal truth: AI won’t eliminate the need for judgment. But it will compress old research moats and change the edge. Featuring insights from @christinaqi, CEO of @DatabentoHQ. Full episode: youtu.be/BxiNptG8h_Y #AI #Finance #HedgeFunds #Quant #FinTech

I asked my old co-founder and he said (assuming you're dead-set on starting a hedge fund): fundraising.

@christinaqi What would you suggest someone that want to start one's own shop. What is the one thing or main things that they should focus on

yes maam hail Bloomberg the overlord king we bow down or we face wrath from industry 🙇‍♂️
bergkampbrain@BullBankers_NFT

@christinaqi Bloomberg is a much better product then your product. So you should be a little humble and have a good look at what you’re providing! You’re just a data vendor, Bloomberg is a network! Make sense?

Hedge Fund Allocator Outlook: • 64 % plan to increase exposure on a net basis • Tactical trading strategies, such as quant equity, quant multi strategy and discretionary macro deliver returns while keeping correlation, beta and volatility low. • 34% of allocators looking to add to Europe across equity long/short, event driven and credit while 30% look to add to Asia across equity long/short and multi strategy. Off note the China turnaround continues with 9% of allocators investing in China focused hedge funds in 2025 and a further 14% planning to in 2026 (up from a 42% net reduction in 2023). globalmarkets.cib.bnpparibas/2026-hedge-fun…

Clickbait‼️ @ethanrkho you get a pass…

Why SIG told its traders not to hedge. Kris Abdelmessih (@KrisAbdelmessih). 8 years on SIG's options floor. Now writes Moontower. SIG's founders came from gambling. Sports betting. Poker. They understood small edges. "A bookie's making like 5% edge. Making a pretty good living off a fairly slim margin." Then they looked at options markets: "The idea that you could trade a two and a half dollar call spread for $2.20 when you think it's worth $2.50 — SIG was like, that is a ridiculous amount of edge. Way more than you'd get in gambling. And the risk is the same." So what did they do? They traded massive size and didn't hedge. "We were not even instructed to hedge. Central command looks at all the risk across the firm — this guy's long Microsoft, that guy's short QQQ, someone else is short IBM — net it all out and just trade the residual." The philosophy was simple: "Hedging is a cost. Don't hedge. Only hedge when risk starts swamping your edge." And they optimized for size over margin: "They traded giant size because they already knew this was way more edge than they'd ever find anywhere else." The result? SIG was the most profitable options trading firm of that era. Their competitors called them the Evil Empire.

Again? When was I “Scholar of the Year” before? Don’t get me wrong, I appreciate it :)
D2 Finance@D2_Finance

@danielfsy Make @CliffordAsness Scholar of the Year again! 'The Illiquidity Discount' seems to be becoming an even more seminal piece than his early work on the 'momentum' factor. And that was already a high benchmark to beat! aqr.com/Insights/Persp…

I can guarantee that *overwhelmingly* people are not sucking up to me. I thank them, they say hi, and I don't hear from them ever again. Now, a lot of people I interview for jobs have read a book or the other, and they have the common decency to mention it outside of the interview process. Same with random people I talk to on zoom. And it's not hard to tell sycophants because they are usually untrained actors. By the way, when I read a good book, I often send an enthusiastic handwritten letter to the author. Sometimes they reply, often they don't. It's ok. Once Stephen Smale replied to me (for his book with Hirsch), and it made a difference.
Just another one@AstarothNeph

@__paleologo @quantop__ The feeling of helping other without any interest and that somehow your life and purpose is useful for other people in your same pursuit must be incredible. Idk. Doesn't seem like anyone is trying to suck on him. Just people that are genuinely thankful.
