Run a Personal Hedge Fund course preview

Why I'm long black swan events, and you should be to.

Run a Personal Hedge Fund

Everyone has triple long exposure — your job, your home, and your 401(k) all riding on the same economic cycle. Nobody knows what happens next. Not me. Not you. Not Citadel. But there is structure that professionals exploit mathematically to mitigate this risk and improve long run growth, and you can too.

Roman Paolucci

Founder, Quant Guild

After training as a Quantitive Researcher under the legendary Bruno Dupire at Bloomberg LP, Roman founded Quant Guild. He operates as both the sole engineer of the platform and teaches all of its asynchronous and live courses drawing on his extensive academic background and industry experience as a quant.

Roman personally follows the methodology in this program, the same approach he and other professionals use to hedge downside risk, maximize long-term CAGR, and have capital when everyone else doesn't. He is fully invested in his own strategies.

Student Outcomes 06

What's it Like to Learn from Roman?

Before you trust someone to teach you how to think about portfolio risk, you should know how they teach, how seriously they take the work, and whether they care about students after the lessons end. You will not get rich quick taking this class, you will learn to think like an institutional fund manager.
