Episode notes

In the quest for generating alpha as a fund manager, three primary sources are crucial: an information edge, an analytical edge, and a behavioral edge. While the information edge has become more challenging due to the abundance of information leading to noise, leveraging technology for analysis and conducting thorough channel checks can help. Building an analytical edge with the right tools, processes, and people is essential. However, the most significant edge lies in behavioral aspects, where understanding the distinction between data, information, knowledge, wisdom, and making informed decisions is key to creating wealth.
