Hedge Fund Manager is Another Route to Billionaire Status
Just found this:
That truism has never been more evident than during the past four years.
Forty hedge-fund managers have now made the Forbes billionaire list, and the conference, known as SALT, beginning Wednesday has become the place for them to hobnob with world leaders, former presidents, political pundits and Hollywood celebrities.
But the people whose money hedge funds manage haven’t exactly hit the jackpot.
Teachers, firefighters, and others with defined benefit plans doubled down on money invested with hedge funds following the crash of 2008, pouring $282 billion into the industry in hopes of making up for their losses.
Roulette might not have been a better solution, but an S&P index fund sure would have.
