The unspoken rules of Wall Street’s best hedge funds

Working as an analyst on Wall Street, Qiao Ma, Portfolio Manager at Cooper Investors, had the privilege of meeting legendary hedge fund manager, Julian Robertson. Qiao worked at Coatue Management, one of the famous “Tiger Cubs” that spun off from Tiger Funds Management. It was an incredible experience to be grilled by Julian about a stock, but she warns that it was important you’d done your homework. “Julian had an unspoken rule, if you cover a stock, or you pitch a stock, you better know more about that stock than anyone else in the world.” Today, she applies that same principle with her own analysts. In this episode of The Rules of Investing podcast, we discuss her experience in China at the start of the COVID-19 outbreak, how one of her first investments saw 15% of its value evaporate overnight, and some of the exciting opportunities she's seeing throughout Asia today.
