Pegasus Angel Accelerator’s Post

Looking forward to this peer discussion focused on investing for returns and impact at Allocate's Beyond Summit gathering next week!

It's fascinating to see the emergence of hedge fund accelerator programs, a trend that didn't exist when we were starting out. Back then, there were no services specifically targeting early-stage funds. Today, however, there are numerous LPs and potential seeders exploring new structures and opportunities. These developments are incredibly promising. While we have yet to see a seeded hedge fund from one of these accelerator programs become a household name, it's still early days. Success in this space may take many years, but the groundwork being laid down now is exciting, especially by companies like Databento as foundational enablers. #HedgeFunds #AcceleratorPrograms #EarlyStageFunds #Investment #Finance #Innovation #LPs #SeedFunding #FinancialServices #FutureOfFinance

“Feedback is predominantly given by junior employees to more senior ones, which is a “day and night change” . “Bridgewater has been working on a macro fund that uses artificial intelligence — to help it make investments— “unquestionably an experiment” at this point.” “Feedback is predominantly given by junior employees to more senior ones” “People almost self-select themselves to be in a place that puts truth above everything else,” — the core idea of a group of people that want to be excellent so much that they’re going to be living in a state of uncomfortableness”. “We want to be the best, not the biggest, - Pure assets will drop from $80bn to between $50bn and $60bn.“ Bridgewater’s chief says he has ‘rewired’ world’s largest hedge fund https://on.ft.com/3UAYdTi 📈 Infinity IPO Ventures: https://infinityipo.com/ We facilitate US Growth Capital for European SMEs #aiinvesting #bridgewater #infinityipo

Hedge funds are pulling back from private tech investments, with firms like Tiger Global and Maverick Ventures drastically reducing their activity. Only a few, like Coatue Management, remain active but at reduced levels compared to previous years. Key takeaways: - **Decline in Tech Investments**: Major hedge funds are making significantly fewer private investments in tech. - **Coatue’s Resilience**: Despite the trend, Coatue is still the most active, with 33 investments in 2024. - **Market Hesitation**: Overall, hedge fund participation in private deals continues to shrink. #PrivateEquity #TechInvestments #VentureCapital #HedgeFunds #StartupFunding #InvestmentTrends https://lnkd.in/e-qxFPUh

🌊 The tide is turning in the hedge fund world! Amidst the scrutiny of high-fee multistrategy giants, a wave of hedge fund startups is rising, offering fresh alternatives and attracting keen investor interest. 🚀 At the forefront, we see seasoned traders like Joshua White of Regents Gate Capital stepping into the spotlight with bold moves and innovative strategies. With a rich background at firms like Balyasny Asset Management and Citadel, White's leap into founding his own fund is a beacon for others contemplating the entrepreneurial jump. 💡📈 This burgeoning interest in emerging managers is supported by recent surveys from Barclays, BNP Paribas, and Goldman Sachs, highlighting a clear shift towards new ventures over traditional multistrategy funds. The allure? New launches promise not just innovation but potentially better terms for investors, shaking up the industry's established norms. 🔄 It's a pivotal moment for hedge funds, as investor disillusionment with underperforming, fee-heavy giants drives a search for value and performance elsewhere. With startups like Regents Gate Capital and others raising significant capital, it signals a potential "reverse migration" back to boutique operations, where agility and specialized strategies might just offer the edge investors are seeking. 🌱💼 As the landscape evolves, the conversation around fees, performance, and investor alignment has never been more critical. Let's dive into what this shift means for the future of hedge funds and investment strategies. #hedgefunds #quantitativeresearch #portfoliomanagement #financialmarkets #quantitativefinance https://lnkd.in/d-Tsy6cj
