Chapters
We talked with Torrey Reese of Equi and it just felt as an observer here between Bob and Torrey, just the nerds uniting. It was a really fun time hearing some of the data and Torrey definitely has some great data to share. He's in the space of what they call liquid alts or hedge funds. So this is not an area we spend a lot of time talking about, but their whole goal is to make hedge funds accessible to retail investors like you and I. And that was really cool. So we dive into really the nitty-gritty of their strategy and why they believe investment manager selection is infinitely more important than just the asset class and the strategy. He has some great data to back it up.
It's so good. We don't do a lot of shows on hedge funds, and so it was great to meet another hedge fund geek. They actually run a strategy using a fund of funds model, and I actually really like that strategy for hedge funds. They have already great track record and anyhow, super interesting conversation. You got to listen to this if you're interested in hedge funds at all.
