"Early in the industry, there's a tendency to see hedge fund managers as nearly genius figures with unrivaled money-making prowess, placing them on a pedestal.
However, meeting them often reveals they aren’t exceptionally brilliant or even particularly skilled at what they've been celebrated for. The twist?
There's a humble operator at a small prop shop quietly doubling a $15 million balance sheet year after year, or an astute retail trader who has consistently beaten the market for a decade by leveraging a specialized edge.
This field is rife with contradictions—a game of smoke and mirrors 🤦🏽♂️"
