627. Dig up the 'Queen of Hedge Funds' Leda Braga!

At noon on the second day, Chen Hui slowly got up, the two of them were crazy all night last night, and they were also happy for a long time this morning.

"You can rest here today!" Chen Hui walked out of the bathroom, sat on the bed and stroked Zeng Jiaqi's hair, and continued: "In the future, you will be picked up and dropped off every day, and when you are not busy with studying, you will go to Universal Entertainment Group to pick up some movies!"

"Got it?"

In the last two nights, Chen Hui has been sleeping in the school flowers, and Chen Hui feels that this life is not bad! Anyway, his body is very strong because of the dzi bracelet, and it is getting stronger and stronger! If he is not a girl, Chen Hui will feel uncomfortable! If he holds it for a long time, it may be easy to cause problems.

"Well, I know" Zeng Jiaqi moved with difficulty, but found that her body was in pain, she screamed in pain, and chose to stay on the bed, it seems that she can't get out of bed today.

"Well, that's good, I still have something to do, I won't accompany you first!" After Chen Hui finished speaking, he got up and left No. 666, and when he walked to the door, Chen Hui said again: "In the evening, I will come back!"

When Zeng Jiaqi heard Chen Hui's words, he was immediately overjoyed, thinking that Chen Hui would leave her alone, so he immediately said, "Then I'll wait for you to come back!"

·· After Chen Hui left the Caesars Hotel, he came to the headquarters of Blackshirt Capital, and today he was going to interview someone.

Soon Chen Hui came to his office, and then called the personnel department...

·········

Soon Wang Huijie hurriedly came to the chairman's office, she looked at Chen Hui on the boss's chair and said: "Chairman, Ms. Leda Braga has been waiting for you for a long time!"

Now Wang Huijie is not only the secretary of the chairman, but also the personnel department responsible for the black shirt capital, although this personnel department is not the core department, but it is also a department, now she is the secretary of the chairman and also the position of the manager of the personnel department of the black shirt capital, usually she let the deputy manager of the personnel department to do the things of the personnel department, when Chen Hui came to the black shirt capital, she was the secretary of the chairman!

Chen Hui nodded and said, "Well, call her over! I'll have a good talk with her, and you go and prepare top-notch tea!"

The five core departments are the trading department, the risk control department, the venture capital department, the legal department, and the asset management department. The manager of the legal department is Ou Xuze. There is still a vacancy for the manager of the asset management department, and there is also a vacancy for the CEO of Blackshirt Capital!

Now Chen Hui can't manage so many things at all, and many talents continue to do things for themselves.

Leda Braga is the talent that Chen Hui recruited from Blue Crest Capital Management for international executive search firms, and will be known as the 'Queen of Hedge Funds' in the future

The international headhunting company is also very powerful, and when she knew that Leda Braga planned to start her own hedge fund company, she immediately contacted her, followed her for a long time, and finally persuaded her to let her join Blackshirt Capital, but she needed to have a good chat with the boss of Blackshirt Capital before making a decision!

Once the contract is signed, Chen Hui's Blackshirt Capital will have to pay the headhunter a large commission.

At this time, a middle-aged foreign woman walked in with a confident smile, looked at Chen Hui, and immediately said, "Hello!" and then stretched out her hand and said, "Leda Braga!"

"Chen Hui, your boss!" Chen Hui smiled and shook her hand. This is a very legendary woman, 47 years old this year, but are still charming.

Braga was born in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, where he grew up. In 1987, at the age of 20, she moved to Imperial College London to pursue a PhD in engineering, where she worked as a lecturer for three years before joining the derivatives research team of Mo-G. Chase. As a quantitative analyst, her mathematical skills have enabled her to navigate the complex world of financial derivatives, despite having no background in finance. More than 7 years in the field of derivatives provided a springboard for Braga to enter the investment industry.

In 2000, Braga was assigned to a derivatives company owned by Mo'G. Chase, but the following year the company began to cut back on expenses and she chose to leave to join Blue Crown Capital Management, which Michael Pratt founded with another partner.

Pratt and Braga had worked together at Mo'G' Chase, and he was well aware of Braga's ability to work. With a strong engineering background and many years of research experience in derivatives pricing, she is able to lead a quantitative investment department. Initially, Blue Crown Capital allocated Braga a $300 million portfolio, and in the years that followed, the investment returns remained good. So in 2004, Blue Crown Capital created a fund managed by Braga, BlueTrend. This is a managed futures strategy fund that explores trading opportunities in global commodities, stocks, government bonds, currencies and other markets, trying to find the fluctuating trend of various asset prices, and then making a profit through futures trading. This strategy has been around on Wall Street for 30 years, and it has the disadvantage of a relatively low level of returns and an advantage of outstanding risk control compared to outright trading stocks and bonds.

After Braga took over, the annual return of the Blue Trend Fund has been relatively stable, and in the 10 years from 2004~2013, the average return of the fund to investors after deducting management fees was about 20.8%.

The breakthrough growth came during the 2008 financial crisis, when the Blue Trend Fund achieved an annual return of 53% at a time when a large number of hedge funds were struggling to survive, a far cry from the perverted 590% yield obtained by Wall Street hedge fund giant Paulson, but it was dazzling enough. With the help of this wave of "offensive", Blue Crown Capital quickly attracted money and successfully promoted to one of the three major hedge fund companies in Europe in the post-crisis era.

Now she has left Blue Crown Capital and plans to start her own hedge fund, but it is not very smooth at present, and then people from international headhunting firms have found her!

·····

"Hello, then, boss!" Braga continued to smile, "Please be seated!"

"Ms. Braga, please be seated!" Chen Hui also smiled. He didn't expect Braga to play his cards out of common sense, and he couldn't help but think highly of her.

The two began to chat, talking about the world economic situation, monetary policy... History, philosophy, personal experience, life preferences, the two chatted while drinking tea.

At this time, Chen Hui smiled and asked, "Braga, why did you choose quantitative trading?"

In fact, there are many reasons why women are not valued in hedge fund circles, such as the fact that they often lack deep connections, which greatly limits their likelihood of success, and the fact that they do not have to have children and work intensively. When it comes to investment, there is a reason that should not be overlooked: women are more likely to be emotional than men are rational, and this is a major taboo in investment. But Braga does come out on top.

Braga laughs: "Quantitative trading can remove the emotional factor from trading, and I am lucky to have chosen it!".

Chen Hui looked at her curiously and said, "Oh, is it really wise to rely on data to make investment decisions?"
