If you’re all interested in macro investing, trend following, commodities, currencies, fixed income, various types of quantitative strategies, and most important of all, riskmanagement, you’re going to find this conversation to be absolutely fascinating. With no further ado, my interview of GCM’s Ken Tropin.
And definitely, their retail market participation is significantly lower than you can see in the U.S. But I think it’s definitely changing, Barry, because, you know, you see more and more fintech platforms and robo-advisors that in a way, are making accessing financial markets easier for more and more investors in in Spain.
And all these questions that I was trying to answer had direct applications to hedge fund strategies and portfoliomanagement. Another the great lesson, and I was still a global macro portfoliomanager with my own silo at SAC Capital. And at the SAC Capital, it was all about riskmanagement. VASSALOU: Yes.
So, first, I found the book to be quite fascinating, very in depth and you managed to take some of the more technical arcana and make it very understandable. You began as a central bank portfoliomanager in Finland. So, that relationship actually already started when I was a portfoliomanager, right? Definitely so.
Managing them. You, you definitely have to adapt your style a bit. So at our firm, putting portfoliomanagers in front of prospects and clients, we constantly have to train them, give them presentation training. 00:22:24 [Speaker Changed] Being client portfoliomanagers. So these are very, very smart people.
She was a partner and a portfoliomanager at Canyon Capital, a firm that runs currently about $25 billion. Here’s the downside risk and equity, and for it to work out, the company has to turn itself around and a miracle has to happen. The bonds aren’t worthless, but they’re definitely not trading at par.
And Wall Street didn’t work out for a variety of reasons, but I ended up working sort of an adjacent industry in the portfoliomanagement software business, and really wasn’t where my passion was. They have a riskmanagement technology. How do you guys think about riskmanagement? RAMPULLA: Yeah.
But it was a tremendous experience because I had started off in bond trading, worked my way into portfoliomanagement and running the bond indexing team for a number of years, and then I got asked to take this responsibility, which was much broader. DAVIS: We definitely saw a number of clients who started embracing money markets.
So, we’ll take elements or particular strategies from each part of our discretionary strategy and match it with con strategy and return it to clients because we understand and we work with them on their portfolio, the exposure, what they need to achieve, their riskmanagement to create something that is a spoke for them.
Because if you’re a riskmanager at a bank and all of a sudden the reserve flow is not coming your direction anymore, you’re the expectation that is, it will go the opposite direction. And I think my employers appreciated it because I wasn’t trying to, you know, be a portfoliomanager before my time.
You were a portfoliomanager, researcher head of trading, and apparently tech geek putting machines together. That there’s a definitely a network effect that happens there. So that is a big focus and if you think about what riskmanagers would do at a casino, it’s the same thing.
