Great Literature for Hedge Fund Investors
Of late, some of the 'letters' that Hedge Fund investors are receiving have a language that is so eloquent and full of poetry that they deserve to be placed along side other popular literary works. Deviating from the dry and lack luster style that most finance write ups adopt, Fund managers are beginning to rely more on prose, poetry and interesting analogies to make their fund 'read' better to prospective as well as existing clients.
The point remains whether sounding off investors with impressive flowery words actually make any effect. Hedge Fund investors are generally looking for big profits and think in terms of numbers, will the use of rhyming couplets and sonnets in investment letters have any impression on them. Putting up parallels that explain strategies is fine or even inspirational real stories may make a difference, but to think investors have the time or the interest to read pages of literature on the performance of their funds is too much to expect.
