There are times in life when exploring new paths leads to uncertain journeys where you don’t really know where the path will lead, though at the same time those are some of the most exciting times in our lives when we reflect on what matters most.
And when looking at hedge fund strategies, particularly the most successful funds and why they have gotten to where they’re at today, it’s almost always a close circle of very intelligent individuals that come together as a core team to decide what’s going to happen in order to monetize that as best as possible.
Without digging too much into the weeds and boring/technical stuff, the culmination of everything above is that technology is clearly taking over, especially Artificial Intelligence (AI), and in 2025 we are experiencing investment strategies gravitating towards that area due to hype along with other more reliable factors (definitive data points), though who really sees what’s around the next turn?
If we sit around the campfire and put on our tinfoil hats then explore what’s possible maybe that’s the best way for hedge funds to win in 2025 and beyond: Develop unique strategies that fuse past experiences/data with what’s going to happen in the future then use that approach to make the best, most informed decisions in the moment and therefore create a competitive edge to produce the most favorable risk adjusted returns.
