I read a similar study a while back and decided to replicate.. 2000-2013 With the benefit of hindsight....If you required the market to pay you $50k yr. you would have needed to invest $5mm. But you would have been in drawdown twice -$2.5mm. "Where is the retail investor"? maybe there afraid to bet $50 to earn $1 ...inflation during this period has been avg 2.7% yr.
I understand what you mean. In fact I believe the firm in question, like many BB firms are less likely to fund a new manager. They have an interest in a program/ strategy mix that I developed that is very scalable in SP500 names. My tracking performance like stated >$100k but as an example FOREX i see the inside EURJPY with IB now spread for 2 pips and $3mm size on inside. Even $100k could size 30x with zero to little slippage. I understand part2...If I were trading $50mm of my own funds, this means little on how I could handle your $50mm. Thank you though , I do appreciate your point.
Yes, I did start a fund by myself 2008 and shut it down in 2010.. on my terms. I was guilty of trying to do everything myself.. To do it right you need a team. (sales, compliance, IT ).
But here you go again......typical retail trader mind-set...if someone told me they are up 2.5X the averages i'd like to know how that was achieved. i know it was by taking bigger risks..fine..as long as you do not try to B*S*me
well you probably shouldn't offer that system.. because it sucks... secondly people don't invest based on performance, they invest in people.
