The smart money gathered in Manhattan Wednesday didn't spend their time pitching artificial intelligence venture bets or bitcoin-linked trading products. At this year's Sohn conference in New York, the biggest names in hedge funds — such as David Einhorn, Elliott's Jesse Cohn, and Kirkoswald's Greg Coffey — preached fundamentals and restraint. Solvay, Einhorn said, has "a relatively high and stable margin, a high return on capital, and a good return of capital." Even hedge funds that are constantly stirring the pot, such as Paul Singer's Elliott Management and Bridgewater, were even-keeled. "You've got a durable business with real differentiation, you've got a strong management team executing," he said.
