What do you think is the realistic monthly profits for $100 million account? Please vote. There is a thread in this section about $50,000 accounts profits which inspired me to start this thread Please note-: I do not have $100 million. But I know somebody who trades $100 million.
If you want to be realistic, safe, and focused on not have draw downs, then 20% a year would be awesome. I've made 47% this year with my retirement fund, but I'm willing to take some risk with it.
is he trading with 100million in equity? or is it just super-leveraged 100mil in BP? it makes a huge difference imo.
I have to think newbie when I see these threads. Can you make a good return, of course! For cripes sake year after year there is the hedge fund guy who make a ridiculous return on alot more. The key is doing it year after year. Most make a 1 or 2 year return then have the big drawdown. I have a plan, and I think it is easily scalable to over 100mil., but I'll see when I get there, as a whole lot have thought the same before me. I have expanded from my daytrading to swing, but as I go I'm extending to more position, using equities and options. Make a plan and stick to it. I admit easier said than done, but it is the way to a fortune, and retiring to set up a foundation to give it all away.
I think the larger the account size, especially when you get into managing an account In the billions, the return targets realistically become somewhere in the neighborhood of 8-10% per year. I know that's what Harding's Winton Capital is targeting. And then you've got the big pensions trying for 7-8% per year. So on 100m capital you'd be wanting more than Harding I suppose. But for a liquid nonleveraged account of any size that's aiming for consistency, anything past 30% per year in a hedged account is I think impossible to achieve with smooth monthly results.
