Hedge Fund Heirs Is More Like It
"Hedge fund toddlers" (News: Analysis & Commentary, July 3) gives the impression that no prior hedge fund experience is necessary to start a fund and that launching one is "easy" because all it requires is filing some "paperwork." At first, I was impressed by Rebellion Research Technologies because it seemed they had started from the ground up, with no experience.
I became less impressed as I read that Alexander C.E. Fleiss's mother manages her own hedge fund, and Spencer G. Greenberg's father manages another. What's more, Fleiss started the hedge fund with money he inherited from his grandfather. What person would not attempt to capitalize on these facts (i.e., pedigree)? Their "start" is no different than that of Donald Trump. Let's face it, Trump would not be where he is today if it were not for the wisdom, experience, and money inherited from his father, who was himself in the business.

What are you supposed to do with money you inherit? Not follow your dreams or passions? Just invest it in some company you know nothing about rather than taking a chance on something that you've wanted to do for so long? More than half of the companies in this world have been started not from the very bottom up but have been started out of what was available to people, the passion for the company and the support of those around. Sorry to burst your bubble but connections are key in this world, especially during times that we are living in now. I don't know where you're from, what you do or who you are, but before you talk about others, why don't you check your spelling. Maybe "mom" is spelled differently in other countries but proper nouns only have one spelling. Amherst is not spelled. With a "u". Don't speak about people you do not know and if you do know them than you should know better. Ignorance is not attractive. Enjoy talking about everyone and everything else but yourself.
