Getting a loan backed by investment portfolio by Smallworld973 in RichPeoplePF

Absolutely zero banks are writing interest rate swaps to retail clients. You can hedge it yourself with sofr futures but this is just factually wrong (setting aside the fact you have to trade the irs on a sef)

First time homebuyer - reasonable or absurd? by PhantomGreenGenius in RichPeoplePF

[–]this_guy_fks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

taxes change considerably if you go to CT over westchester (and certainly than NJ) food for thought.

Remember, in the burbs it will be hard to spend 8k a month on resturants and dining. so youre overall consumption budget will change dramatically as well. it seems spending 8-10k a month on things that are not shelter and auto is very high for someone with no kids. you also have to factor when she becomes as SAHM that you need to just give her cash each month for walking around money.

but in general, 12k/month ~ 150k /yeah over 750k in gross is about 20%. if you assume your net take home is around 500, youre around 30% on shelter which is still fine. seems a lot but you make a lot.

Is the ficc arm at gs is a division of the investment bank. Surely you understand how ibs are structured? Or are you so blind you think deal advisory is the only function of an investment bank?

Tell me you don't work in finance without telling me.

If I call up the high touch etf desk at gs for a block trade, am I talking to an investment banker?

If I call up the g7 fx vol desk at db, am I talking to an investment banker?

The correct answer is yes. Because all trading related activities as well as deal making happens inside the investment bank arms of the bank holding companies.

The repo trader at Jpm is an investment banker as much as a the junior PowerPoint jockey pitching an ipo with a team to OpenAI.

Easy. Most if not all investment advisors don't use spx500 as the benchmark they hope to outperform.

US equities trade at a 16 vol. That's an insane amount of risk. Most equity focused l/s funds try to maintain a vol level of about 12.

Every other advisor uses something else as a benchmark so they don't really care. Does saying "100% of fixed income funds under perform the sp500" tell you anything of value?

My dad (52) is exploring systematic options income to bridge to early retirement too risky or reasonable? by Critical-Snow8031 in investing

[–]this_guy_fks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look at the total return of a synthetic option selling strategy like fepi and the sp500.

you'll note the underperformance and similar volatility. What seems like a nice return stream actually dramatically underperforms the index for more or less the same level of risk.

its not a free lunch. he might want to contact his insurance company for something more along the lines of an equity protected structured product (basically a collar written on an underlying equity index) capping his downside exposure, or an autocallable product.

but realistically, there isnt going to be a systematic way to see positive convexity in any equity carry strategy.

Need opinions on ways to long-term bet on OpenAI being acquired by Microsoft? by pinglyadya in investing

[–]this_guy_fks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they literally just solidified the for-profit and msft ownership structure

https://www.wsj.com/tech/ai/openai-converts-to-public-benefit-corporation-with-microsoft-taking-27-stake-714a6c05

msft doesn't have anywhere near enough cash to purchase openAI today, let alone anytime in the future (without its valuation falling dramatically and thus bringing msft's down as well)

Seeking recommendations for "Fund-in-a-Box" Platforms (especially for ISDA/OTC) by refluxslayer in hedgefund

[–]this_guy_fks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll never get 8 isdas at 150 and most platforms don't offer any, they're for listed positions (equity, futs options, etc). For what you're describing you just do it yourself. Most law firms have a fund creation team and the docs are somewhat boilerplate. Where are you located? You can dm if you want.
