Point72 is a pioneer in developing investor talent; the multi-manager has been running LaunchPoint, previously known as Nines, since 2012.

  + stars: | 2023-06-02 | by ( Matt Turner | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Money is pouring into the hedge fund business, adding to a war for talent. Maybe a bunch of NBA or NFL players end up on a trading floor for charity. The war for talent is partly a reflection of hedge-fund performance. My colleague Alex Morrell wrote recently:After years of relative quiet, macro strategies at hedge funds surged back to life in 2022 amid rising interest rates, inflation, and geopolitical convulsions. Writing for Insider recently, hedge-fund recruiter John Pierson said that "the competition for investment talent is escalating, and finding top portfolio managers is no longer a contact sport — it's an all-out war."

There are multiple forces working against the success of a super app in the US, let alone one run by someone as polarizing as Musk. When I think of super apps, my mind goes toward pursuing users' wallets. And here's why industry experts remain unconvinced about Elon Musk's plans to turn Twitter into a super app.

The largest hedge funds are using their high fees to attract and retain new talent. The competition for investment talent is escalating, and finding top portfolio managers is no longer a contact sport — it's an all-out war. The types of senior portfolio managers in high demand are those who command attention and have uncommon idea flows. What makes portfolio managers moveMost portfolio managers aren't driven by compensation; they've typically made out well financially. John Pierson is the founder and CEO of P2 Investments, a New York-based talent-acquisition firm that specializes in recruiting hedge-fund portfolio managers.
