A milestone reached from a journey that began in 2015.

Our startup asset management company has received its Category II Discretionary FSP license from the FSCA, with myself as the Key Individual.

The journey to Economic Emancipation requires that we build our own institutions

Nooooo Manie

Now I have to pull old explainers why he shouldn't kick for poles in high pressure situations.

Why not move Sasha to 15 to keep the goal kicking duties???

No man Rassie.
This one is on you if the Boks lose!

[Loyiso Mpeta @TheHedgeFundGuy]

@Lord_Stirus Manie Libbok is not the first Bok 10 who can't kick to save his life. Henry Honibal was revered for his gameplay and was a worse kicker than Manie but was an anchor in the 18 game test win run, Butch James was hardly ever required to kick with Percy at 15. How quickly we forget.

This is very true.
You get exposed very quickly in hedge funds if you do not have an edge, and you cannot hide behind beta (market returns) or who you know.
Your skills get tested a lot more, and you have to be more dynamic than long-only, VC, PE, or IB.

Ex-Balyasny PM Ying Hua on why hedge funds are finance's purest meritocracy:

"There's only one thing that matters: your P&L at the end of the year. It's a place where all the superficial on-paper stuff does not matter."

"I've seen people get to a good P&L track record before they got to a top one, and they may not come from a target school, and be able to make it."

"In banking, a lot of things that are not truly P&L driven, it's much more about who you know, what school you graduated from, how you carry yourself. None of that really matters at a hedge fund."

"You just have to be right. You just have to make money."

"There's only one other job I think that's like that. That's sales. There's only one number that matters."

Financial markets might just be the only purely meritocratic human creation.
What I love about them is they reward you for your skill (what you know and apply) and nothing else.
It doesn't matter what you believe in or who you know; it's all about what you bring to the table.

[Loyiso Mpeta @TheHedgeFundGuy]

When you're deep in the trenches of entrepreneurship as a Black person in 🇿🇦 you begin to understand why many who came before you become unhelpful gatekeepers and bitter people.
The game is designed to take you through hell🔥before you get in. That experience can harden the❤️‍🔥💔

[Loyiso Mpeta @TheHedgeFundGuy]

@hlovo_ 🎯 If one prefers highly liquid active trading and/or quick P&L realization, it's the better asset class.
Unfortunately, it remains thee most difficult one due to its mechanics (volatility, pair trading, betting on economies vs companies).

I'm convinced many are just addicted

[Loyiso Mpeta @TheHedgeFundGuy]

Remove envy from your ❤️, especially when you see others whom you believe you can do better than get opportunities before you.

When your time comes, prove your point to yourself first, and make it count.

Proving a point must be a secondary source of motivation, never the WHY.

[Loyiso Mpeta @TheHedgeFundGuy]

@linda_mot Forex, quick money, escape - all in one sentence 🤣😂😄.

Folk don't seem to know and understand how difficult it is to make money consistently trading Forex.

They hear "$4 trillion daily traded volume " and they think its easy to get their piece of the 🥧 🙆🏾‍♂️🙅🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

@rich_toad It's not wise to be player and reporter; I'm working on being the former.

@pinkysithole17 Hustle culture doesn't seem to understand the correlation between quality of sleep and optimum performance.

Being a TV & Film Production House has got to be one of thee most demanding businesses in SA.

🇿🇦 is no Hollywood🇺🇸, Bollywood🇮🇳, or Nollywood🇳🇬 as far as a mass local market is concerned, yet we have thee most demanding and insatiable audience.
Everyone is an expert and critic

[Loyiso Mpeta @TheHedgeFundGuy]

@hlovo_ Yohhhhhh - whaaaattt 🫨🤯😲.

Cricketflation is insane.
I had an entire cricket kit (Kookaburra Bubble bat, pads, gloves, ball box, bag) in high school, and adjusting for 22 years of inflation, it did not cost R13K.

Nah, there must be ranges for general to pro and willow wood🙆

I've done the inverse, and it's a personal choice.

The older and wiser I've become, the more the scales of social engineering have fallen from my eyes and mind, and the more revolutionary I have become.

The revolution is far bigger than me and my immediate family.

We will ✊

[Selebogo Molefe | 🇿🇦🌍 @DrLifesgud]

The older you get, the quieter you become. Not because the fire’s gone but because you have a whole lot more to lose and more livelihoods to impact with any move you make. That’s why as a young person, you make the biggest revolutionary stances in late teens to late 20’s!

Hey, Bra, sometimes it really feels like they want to see us dead.
Even when you've made it clear you won't give up, and they've given you so much rope to hang them with, they still seem to have hope that you will eventually give up.
It's a game for the meek, not for the weak

[🖍 @feziledhlamini_]

The issue. They want you to give up. You’re not giving up. They’ll try to manage you. You still won’t give up.

Never give up.
