Bloomberg Audio Studios, podcast's radio news. This is Masters in Business with Barry Rittholz on Bloomberg Radio. This week on the podcast, yet another extra special guest, Brian Hurst. is founder, CEO, and CIO of Clear Alpha. They are a multi-manager, multi-strategy hedge fund that has put up some pretty impressive uh numbers.
His background is really fascinating. Cliff Astness plucked him out of the ether to be one of his first hires. at the quantitative research group at Goldman Sachs. He was the first non-founding partner at AQR, the hedge fund that Astna set up. And Brian worked there for a couple of decades before launching Clear Alpha.
He has a fascinating perspective. on where alpha comes from as well as the entire hedge fund industry. Few people have seen it from the unique perspective he has. And I think he understands the challenges of creating alpha where it comes from and managing the risk and looking for ways to develop non-correlated alpha that is both sustainable and manageable from a behavioral perspective. I I thought this conversation was absolutely fascinating.
