Colin Lancaster, Schonfeld SAI Executive Speaker Series

In this session, Lancaster reflects on nearly three decades in multi-manager investing, drawing on experience across firms including Citadel, Balyasny, and Schonfeld. The discussion centers on how top hedge fund platforms are built to last, what separates enduring firms from “one-hit wonders,” how young investors should think about talent development and career management, and why competitive edge in this business ultimately comes down to judgment, work ethic, and the ability to take and manage risk well.
