The realities of a hedge fund trader’s day

On May 7, 2025, a group gathered in NYC and had the chance to experience the Huddle in person by taking part in an evening filled with fascinating stories and insights from past hedge fund managers. It was a behind-the-scenes look into their world as they shared their personal journeys, key moments, and the lessons they learned throughout their careers. These stories from the frontlines were recorded and are now available in our latest episode of the Hedge Fund Huddle. Listen as we are joined by our moderator, Michael Smith, Global Director, Customer Strategy & Execution at LSEG, Jamie McDonald, Hedge Fund Huddle podcast host, Derek Wallis, Author of ‘Occupy a Job on Wall Street,’ and Tracy Castle-Newman, Retired Managing Director, Morgan Stanley.

We want to hear from you! If you've got questions, comments or would like to be a guest on the Huddle, get in touch with us at fmt@lseg.com.
