The Exchanges

Every argument clarity score on this site is built from rows on this page. Each question and answer was assessed with names hidden, the host's own answers included, on four things from 1 to 5: directness (does it answer the question asked), coherence (do the ideas follow), precision (concrete details and clear references), compression (says a lot per word). The weighted mix (30/30/25/15) is the exchange score. A person's published score averages their exchange scores on raw tape only, at least 8 of them, shrunk toward the cohort mean. Full method →

Will England no published score: no usable exchanges on raw tape, and a fair score needs 8+ record → ← everyone

Every exchange below was scored with names hidden, four dimensions each from 1 to 5. An exchange's score is 0.30·directness + 0.30·coherence + 0.25·precision + 0.15·compression. The published score averages the raw tape exchange scores and shrinks small samples toward the cohort mean, so five great answers can't beat twenty good ones. Produced feed rows count only toward coarse estimates, never toward a full score.

Q Where did this idea for Dockside come from?

A There's been this huge trend in the hedge fund community towards the centralization of investment programs. The multi-strap model has been a big beneficiary of that. There's a lot of infrastructure alpha and putting together return streams on one balance sheet. Back in twenty-twenty-two, I was talking both with Derek and Tony around this concept. Maybe we could put together a product and service leveraging capabilities that Walleye has built on Our business, we've been doing managed accounts through our multi-strat fund going back to 2014. Could we make that available directly to Tony and Derek as the end owners of Capital to start a managed account platform? It seemed like a great idea and a great way to add value to these guys. Let's go out and build a business together. Pretty fortunate that these guys were entrepreneurial in that respect. You don't always find that on the allocator side of the table.

Q When you started discussing the next day after the initial beer, how did you think about who was going to do what?

A Initially, it was saying, how do we structure this in a way that's Advantageous. Dockside is ultimately an advisor to a fund. There's a fund that's set up for Utimco. There's a fund that's set up for Swib. Dockside sets up this sandbox and then makes it really easy for someone like Tony or someone like Derek to select managers and then not have to do all the other work to make it work. Dockside the name. I live in a lake. There's restaurants you can go to to get Dockside service, white glove type service. That was the idea. We built out a fully separate team to do this. Had a background in client service and operations and financing and accounting to differentiate here's make it really easy. Understanding the nuances of how all these charges work under the hood at the primes. Pretty much the entire dockside team to come from the sell side that worked in private brokerage roles before.
