Fundseeder - my experience

Discussion in 'Educational Resources' started by globalarbtrader, Mar 10, 2016.

  1. What are the benefits of joining FundSeeder? If a retail trader can be profitable on his own without help, why let other see his trades? If too many people copy his trades, his returns will suffer. It is one of the reasons Warren Buffett keep his investment moves secret.

    They had sub $10m at the start of 2016. Also their model is a longer term equity strategy (see average holding period for winners and losers, looks like classic long/short equity) which would explain high sharpe. Buy and hold QQQ has a 5 year sharpe of 1.6 for example. Don't think we'll know whether they actually as good as stats until market has a down year.

    MDD of 33%? that will get any institution or family office to puke their lunch. CALMAR and MAR numbers are most important imho as it says something about real-world risk and performance.

  5. Interesting. Have you ever worked in a family office or fund of funds?

    Just asking.
    Is it normal to have a 30% drawdown for a family office or fund of funds?
    Personally I would not mind investing in it, considering the return is also about 30%.

  8. Quiet1, curious, why would they penalize for a compounding bank account like structure? Naturally you would think the return on such a structure would be relatively low given low drawdowns and consistent profits - so why penalize it futlrther than is already reflected in the returns?

    Thanks!

    Been active in the CTA/HF industry previously so I have pretty good knowledge what requirements they have for risk tolerance. Generally large institutions shun anything which got larger than 5% annual DD. FO's may accept more annualized risk, but not above 10%

    So they don't invest in any index? Clearly no venture capital or PE? What kind of institutions are these again?
