Welcome back to The Hedgineer Podcast. In this episode, host Michael Watson sits down with crowd-favorite returning guest, Lucas Rooney.
Lucas pulls back the curtain on the "0 to 1" journey of building a new fund, from diligencing the initial idea and recruiting top-tier talent to making the critical "build vs. buy" decisions for a foundational technology stack.
But how does launching a fund today differ from just a few years ago? One answer is AI.
Michael and Lucas dive deep into how the proliferation of AI reframes the entire approach to building systems, forcing a new focus on taxonomy, data labeling, and codifying the "thought process" of an investment from day one.
The conversation shifts to one of the most critical questions facing the industry: How do incentive structures change when an individual's knowledge and intellectual property (IP) can be instantly captured and instilled into the organization's systems?. They explore how firms must re-evaluate compensation and talent, as value shifts from executing perfunctory tasks to the high-level synthesis and compounding of IP.
Hosted by Michael Watson, The Hedgineer Podcast dives into AI technology and data in the hedge fund, asset management, and prop trading space.
