Today we stepped away from talking specifically about trading strategies and chatted with Linus Nilsson about the database of about 4000+ hedge funds / CTA's that he maintains and makes available to the public. We thought this would be an important discussion because we all want to benchmark ourselves against other expert managers. It's an important aspect of 'setting our expectations' and also 'considering what is achievable'.

So while we step away from the excitement of creating robust trading strategies in this episode, many will find it interesting to know about the average returns and statistics of the best funds globally. What kinds of track records are out there? What kinds of funds survive the longest? What kinds of statistical metrics (or qualitative attributes) are best to compare return profiles? What does it take to succeed as a new fund? What are the hurdles? There's a lot that can be done with the raw data that NilssonHedge provides and we will deep-dive into that in a follow-up episode. For those who are 'business minded' about their trading, we think you'll enjoy the show. Happy trading & investing.
