Hi everyone, We want to share an important update with you. Over the past weeks, Mikael’s personal circumstances have changed in a way that requires his full presence and focus (Mikael is a father now). Because of this, we’ve made the decision to shut down the Hedge Fund Manager community for the time being. We believe it’s important to be honest and respectful of your time, and we don’t want to run a community unless we can give it the attention, depth, and consistency it truly deserves. This decision wasn’t made lightly, and it’s simply about doing what’s right right now. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who joined, supported, and believed in the vision. This isn’t a reflection of a lack of belief in the concept, but rather a conscious choice to pause instead of delivering something half-hearted. Thank you for your understanding, trust, and support. PS. Mikael would appreciate it if the personal circumstances mentioned above are kept private and not discussed publicly or online. PPS. As a small token of appreciation, Mikael is happy to offer one year of free premium access to his Substack. To receive it, simply email him at mikael.syding@gmail.com and specify which email address you’d like to register for the Substack. Message me directly if you have any questions. Happy New Year The Hedge Fund Manager Team

So glad to have you here — seriously. Whether you’re brand new to investing or already managing a decent portfolio, this space was built to help you think better, invest smarter, and grow real long-term wealth. Who am I? I’m Mikael Syding — former hedge fund manager, private investor, podcast host, and investment educator. I spent 15+ years running a billion-dollar hedge fund that outperformed the market by 600%, and I’ve learned a thing or two about what actually works in investing — and what doesn’t. These days, my goal is simple: Help as many people as possible understand value, manage risk, and take control of their financial future — without blindly following the hype.
