Key takeaways

  • The subjects operate with fund constraints a retail account does not have.
  • The interviews are case studies, not a performance database.
  • Risk and selectivity are the recurring themes.
Wiley's print edition is May 2012, 544 pages, with a foreword by Ed Seykota. The subjects include macro, multi-strategy, and equity managers. Their tools, capital, and mandates are not the same as a small account. Schwager presses on what they repeat and what they refuse to do. That is the editorial value: risk, selectivity, and the difference between a story and a process. It is not evidence that a reader can reproduce a fund's returns. Use it to see how professionals talk about losing periods. Do not treat a fund interview as instructions for a personal account.

    The Zurich Axioms is Max Gunther's set of speculative rules about risk, greed, and when to leave a bet. ChartClub lists the 6 October 2020 Harriman Classics paperback.
