From Paul.kedrosky.com: An entertaining "top ten" list of quotes (some perhaps apocryphal) from hedge fund managers, according to a recent presentation by someone from U.K.-based Hermes: 10. âIf we donât charge 2 and 20, no one will take us seriously.â 9. âWe are 75% cash because we cannot find sufficient investments.â 8. âWe charge 3 and 30 because that is the only way we can keep our assets under several billion.â 7. âWe donât invest in crowded shorts.â 6. âI havenât shorted before, but I do have my CFA.â 5. âManaged Futures are a better investment than Hedge Funds because Hedge Funds are a zerosum game.â 4. âWhatâs a Master Trust?â 3. âYour Head of Equity doesnât understand our Hedge Fund strategy.â 2. âBasically, I look at the trading screens all day and go with my gut.â 1. âHe will be with you in a minute sir, heâs still meeting with his architect.â Source : http://paul.kedrosky.com/archives/2007/06/24/top_ten_list_of.html
