Some of Our Galtian Overlords have discovered they're not quite the geniuses they imagined.
Some of the biggest traders to have swapped working at a bank for running their own hedge funds are finding it much tougher on their own, with returns since they launched lagging rivals and disappointing investors.

Still I'm sure they got their couple points of management fees and won't be hurting. So maybe they are geniuses after all.
Maybe I should start a hedge fund...
