Hedge Funds and High-Frequency Trading Talk at UCLA Anderson

1/23/2011

(I know it's been a while since I last blogged. I've been traveling and also super busy with a bunch of exciting new things that I will write about soon. I also have a backlog of posts that I need to get to; I anticipate doing that in February.)

By popular demand, I organized a talk at UCLA Anderson for my classmates about my experiences and lessons learned in starting a hedge fund. Below is the video recording as well as Slideshare Slidecast. Let me know what you think by filling out this survey and adding comments to this post.

Topics covered:
-My story
-How hedge funds work
-How the currency market works
-What high-frequency trading means (myth vs. reality)
-How to start your own fund

Hi Max,

I am doing some research on HFT to see how it may or may not affect our non-HFT trading (ETFs, 1-3 day positions). Would be interested to watch your videos if they are still available by invitation.
