- whatshisface 8y agoYou could design a portfolio of short and long positions that exactly cancelled out everything else the fund had.
- mLuby 8y agoI smell a SaaS product…
- jlmorton 8y agoI smell financial regulation. The secondary market is generally only available to accredited investors. If you're investing in a fund, that's one thing, but if a product is unwinding all of that to allow unsophisticated investors to essentially buy secondary stock in private companies, the SEC is going to have something to say about that.
- whatok 8y agoGood luck with that considering most if not all of the other investments would be private investments that would be difficult, if not impossible to replicate in public markets.
- whatshisface 8y agoMaybe you could find a bunch of other funds with slightly different positions in the same companies, and then form a linear combination that cancelled out the differences.
- erikpukinskis 8y agoYou'd end up with an "error portfolio" that was somewhat random that you'd be investing in proportionally with your SpaceX investment.
- whatshisface 8y agoIf I started a few listed companies and bought carefully constructed portfolios of unlisted securities specifically so that this would be possible, I wonder if the SEC would get mad.
