Apr17Can Hedge Fund Talent and Skill be Mass Produced?April 17, 2007 | If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting! One of the aspects of the hedge fund industry that has always intrigued me is how true talent and skill can rise to the top. When I saw this story appear on The Red Herring recently, I had to ask myself — can a parallel be drawn that might help illustrate the complexity in achieving this?
My first reaction is to wonder if this is similar to George-Pierre Seurat’s attempt to quantify human emotion through a new language of art and a scientific method to painting. This announcement by Merrill, Goldman, etc sounds similar to me. However, maybe I’m reaching? This weekend I went to see the current exhibit at the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston, The Masterpieces of French Painting from the Metropolitan Museum of Art: 1800 - 1920 so I had painting on my mind. Can talent/skill be bottled and marketed? global macro, goldman sachs, hedge fund, hedge fund strategies, hedge funds, houston, merrill lynch, museum of fine arts, seuratComments |
