In this episode, we’re flipping the script of our usual hedge fund manager and drilling down on the allocation side. Alexander Mende is a Senior Investment Analyst and Head of Investment Research at RPM Risk and Portfolio Management. We’re covering a lot of ground with Alexander including herd immunity in Stokholm, an allocator’s due diligence, billion dollar AUMs, picking managers with higher risk adjusted returns vs higher absolute returns, being a lead singer in a punk rock band, trend following from an allocator’s POV, fund rebalancing, and AI and machine learning in an allocator’s world.

Follow along with Alexander Mende on LinkedIn, and on RPM’s website and LinkedIn.
