This time, Sabrina is joined by Tushar Patel, Managing Director at HFIM, to reflect on 30+ years in the hedge fund industry. From the 90s, when hedge funds were a high-net-worth private club, to today’s trillion-dollar, institutionalised industry, Tushar shares how the landscape, strategies, and allocator expectations have evolved. He also discusses the future of the industry, lessons from over the decades, and his advice for the next generation in this ever-changing space.
