Moez Kassam: 我创立的Anson Funds是一家位于加拿大多伦多的对冲基金,自2007年成立以来,年化收益率达到15%。我们的成功并非遵循传统路径,而是通过与英国的Trafalgar Asset Managers合作起步,并在2008年金融危机中凭借独特的做空策略在市场普遍下跌的情况下获得正收益,从而奠定了坚实的基础。此后,我们持续专注于展现自身竞争优势和策略,并持续取得良好业绩,而非过度依赖市场营销。我们主要投资美国股票市场,采用多策略方法,包括做空、积极投资和长期投资,以及结构性债务和股权融资。 我们成功的关键在于能够抓住市场意识到公司被高估的时机,即我们所说的‘催化剂’时刻。我们专注于小规模欺诈案件以及那些试图模仿行业领导者,但缺乏研发能力和竞争力的公司。我们不盲目追求市场热点,而是专注于那些我们拥有竞争优势的领域。 在人才方面,我们吸引人才的关键在于提供自主权、跨策略合作和在加拿大工作的机会。我们重视团队合作,提倡办公室办公,认为面对面交流有利于团队合作和效率提升。我们根据业绩给予相应的报酬,并努力营造积极向上的工作氛围。 在投资策略方面,我们根据市场变化灵活调整风险敞口,并根据数据分析结果不断优化策略。我们不依赖单一策略,而是采用多策略方法,以适应市场变化。我们重视风险管理,并采取多种措施来控制风险。 在投资者方面,我们主要依靠家族办公室和高净值个人投资者,他们能够理解我们的策略,并与我们建立长期合作关系。 在慈善事业方面,我们致力于通过数据驱动的方法来实现我们的慈善目标,并取得了显著的成果。 Max Wiethe: 作为访谈者,我主要负责引导话题,并就Anson Funds的投资策略、人才管理、风险控制、以及慈善事业等方面提出问题,以深入了解Moez Kassam及其基金的成功之道。

Toronto may be the financial capital of Canada but compared to NYC or London it does not quite have the same cachet for top hedge fund managers. This might be why Moez Kassam, CIO and Founder of Anson Funds, has flown under the radar of many keeping track of the industry’s titans while growing Anson Funds to over $2b in assets under management and putting together a track record of 15% annualized returns since inception in 2007. Known as a short selling specialist, Kassam shares his views on the art of shorting, dives into some of the other differentiated strategies Anson employs and explains how he attracts top talent to Toronto.
