The Coffee Run: How to make $750k at a hedge fund without ever working there

We've launched a new weekly video series to accompany Morning Coffee, in which we look at one story in more depth to give you the full picture.

There are many ways to work with a hedge fund, not all of which involve becoming an official employee. Independent traders and portfolio managers for smaller hedge funds have an opportunity to make some extra cash by handing off their ideas to one of the major multistrategy funds who will then give it to the PMs managing billion dollar books.

Despite the ideas being good, hedge funds don't want to take these people on full-time. Watch the video below to find out why.
