#99 Sven Fuhrmann: Energy/Power Trader and Hedge Fund Manager
The AlphaMind Podcast
Getting to Know Yourself
Simon Tisdall: In a trade as career, something you should really work on is to get to know yourself. He says traders need to adapt themselves and become better at what they do. "It's about you and how you turn up and how you get behind yourself," he adds.
Sven Fuhrman: Hedge Fund Manager and Energy Trader
The dramatic context of the past couple of years, and the consequences of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, have awoken many traders and investors to the significance and importance of the Power and Energy Markets.
This corner of the international markets remains relatively obscure and poorly understood, despite them playing a far more tangible and significant role in all our lives, than virtually any other market.
On this week’s AlphaMind podcast, we talk with a trader who has been at the centre of the Power and Energy markets for almost 2 decades, and who now runs one of the few Hedge Funds, which specialises exclusively on these areas.
This podcast will provide you with some insight into these markets, and how differently they operate to other markets. Yet, at the same time, there are many lessons to be drawn which are applicable to trading in all markets, particularly regarding how to self-manage in the face of volatility, uncertainty and the heightened emotions that they bring.
Sven, himself, has spent many years working at leading firms within the energy trading industry, such as Vitol, and EDF, and is now Co-Owner of Auricor, a leading Hedge Fund, based in Zug in Switzerland. You can learn more about Auricor, and their work, at https://auricor-energyfund.com/
