Investing advice that is ingested by the public from professional investors is the advice that applies to managing billions of dollars of capital. Its an insane situation that the public listens to people whos objectives, risk tolerances, benchmarks, and professional goals are completely different. Active investors, who are professionals, that manage less than 50 million see extremely high returns. Commonly over 100%. When you get into the billions, you cannot make the same trades, and your clients DO NOT want you to loose their money. It is more so about simple wealth preservation. Raising capital to start your own fund is extremely difficult, expensive, has extensive legal bookkeeping, and requires an immaculate pedigree.
