Traders of funds vs Investors of funds

Hi,

I would like to start a thread where we can discuss the different drivers of Fund managers and Investors.

As fund manager, you want to earn “fees”.

  • Some fund managers earn fees and invest in their own funds. ( Skin in the game ). One example of that Jim Simons. ( Now you can not buy in his main fund as he pushes out all his investors )
  • Some fund managers push hard to earn a lot of fees. Those funds can go very well but have also some bumps ( You can look at BIG SHORT film to understand the concept )

As an investor, you want to get a good return on your capital

  • Some investors buy on dips and try to get the quick move up ( Some do that on Tesla )
  • Some investors jump on some stocks or funds and ride with it ( Amazon, Berkshire Hathaway )

So what is your investment style? How are you as “fund manager” if you are one?
