Mathias Mamou-Mani and Andrew Beer recount the origin and success of a partnership between a then-small investment firm and iM Global Partner, which began with a simple LinkedIn message and evolved into a transformative collaboration. United by a shared long-term vision, the founders aimed to democratize access to hedge fund strategies by replicating institutional-grade investment ideas in a low-cost, liquid format. Leveraging advanced quantitative models, the team identifies and mimics hedge fund trades, offering efficient exposure to sophisticated strategies. Using a powerful metaphor—reading the wake of a cruise ship to predict its direction—the video illustrates how analyzing past manager behavior enables accurate replication of future positioning. Since iMGP’s early and bold investment, the firm has grown eightfold, expanded into new markets, and continues to innovate within the global asset management space.
