Meet James O’Shaughnessy, Founder and CEO of O'Shaughnessy Ventures LLC. James founded and chaired OSAM, an asset management firm, and served as Director of Systematic Equity at Bear Stearns Asset Management. In this conversation with Primary GP Jason Shuman, James shares insights on sidestepping investor biases, the freedom of having no LPs, and the moat behind being a 'lazy' VC.

Rokos Capital Management appoints new CEO Rokos Capital Management, the London-headquartered global macro hedge fund firm founded by Chris Rokos, has appointed Matthew Sebag-Montefiore who has been with the firm since 2018, as its new Chief Executive Officer, according to a report by Bloomberg. The report cites an investor letter seen by Bloomberg News as confirming that Sebag-Montefiore will take on the role, which has been vacant since the departure of former CEO Mark Edwards earlier this year, pending regulatory approval. Rokos, which manages $17.9bn in assets, has posted a strong 20.6% gain so far this year, according to unnamed sources sources familiar with the matter, far in excess of the average 6.1% return for macro hedge funds tracked by Bloomberg. Sebag-Montefiore originally joined Rokos Capital Management as chief strategy officer and stepped in as interim chief operating officer in March. #hedgefund #macro #jobs #london

In a recent interview, Charles Grant, Managing Director and Founder, and Maria O’Connor, Chair and Founder, sat down to discuss how their previous professional experience led to the creation of Fund HQ.    From managing various non-trading functions after spinning out of an established hedge fund to years of working in-house as a COO for start-up investment managers, they recognised a significant gap in the market for outsourced non-investment services.    The success they had with their first client reinforced their belief that they could help more fund managers by offering a full customised, integrated suite of outsourced COO, CCO and other non-investment series to fund managers to help them succeed.    Watch the full video below to hear more about Charles and Maria’s journey, and Fund HQ's story from inception to success.

#Hedgefunds are still a dirty word amongst many investors. 💡 But since starting BT Capital Partners last September we notice that nearly all large (100mio+) #familyoffices we speak to have a 5%-15% hedge fund allocation curated by a private bank such as UBS. 📰 These are the hedge funds you read about in newspapers - Millenium Capital Management, Renaissance Technologies LLC, Point72, Bridgewater Associates, ... - and require large minimum tickets, long lock ups and (very) high fees. 👀 Are you missing out? AlphaBee Asset Management enables you to incorporate the same asset class in your portfolio from €1mio at lower cost, far better liquidity, and in most cases better returns too. The AlphaBee Multi-Arbitrage (AMA) fund was launched in July 2017 and invests in multiple hedge fund strategies: 6.1% ann. return (net) 2.2% vol 1.4 Sharpe no negative years 82% positive months DM us if you would like to know more! ⚠ Professional investors only.
