How long should you leave your money in a manager before pulling for poor performance (I/O is aggressive and horizon is shorter term 1-3 years)? This hedge fund manager I’m using is supposed to be “cutting edge”, but after 4 months my return is 1.4%.

1 year is a fair snapshot for a window in time, but would also say consider the fees they charge and compare to an index fund.

Pull the plug

The last four months the market has been choppy outside of a few short bursts. I'd give it at least a year, and they should be able to outperform the S&P, at least that is usually the target.

1 year yes.
Market has been going Kangaroo Mode n screwing both side positions for the last couple of months.
At one point I was up 30% on my portfolio but now back to even 😭. What seemed like good solid positions turned quickly against us.

Dnt u need like 1mill in assets or something high to be eligible for hedge fund management? What's ur NW OP?...

Inheritance. Part of it is in a hedge fund.

What is it invested in?

4 months is a very short timeline.

For context I have some stocks down 25% YTD but still believe in their LT thesis and anticipate a turnaround for a few reasons by year end yet alone next year.

If you look at ARK, your fund manager for this period is doing well. That said, it might be worthwhile to move the money to a mix of low and high risk ETFs.

What type of hedge fund?

It uses multiple strategies. Primarily large cap equity long/short and partly emerging markets

Scores consider the number of accounts that are paid as agreed. Your score was impacted because the number of these accounts is too low, or because you've missed payments recently on some of your accounts.

I’m seeing lots of posts about really bad losses. If you trade you’re going to lose money - hopefully not all the time, but many positions will be mistakes. But you need a process to find ideas and manage positions. Two books you should read are “The New Trading for a Livinng” and “The Laws of Trading.” Both look at psychology, process, and risk in different ways that can help you work out your own process. The next 18 months will be much harder than the last 18 - time to start learning.

Long time in the making; but we finally sold off from our 50% HWB short. We had two tests at the 3400 level, getting as high as 3420 today before the sell off.
