This was on my Athletic feed this morning. An absolutely great story about the ISU athletic department.
Naturally, unless you're a subscriber it will be behind a paywall, but in case they're doing any sort of specials, like a week or even a few days free, it's worth the read.
Simply a terrific piece that will fill you with pride to be a Cyclone fan.

Money/Investment Managers Questions

What is everyone's thoughts on the qualities and a net return calculation when they hiring an investment manager?
I have met a few people I like, but at the end of the day, it is hard to get around their fees. Let's say a 2% management fee plus X% (let's say 15%) profit fee. It becomes hard to see how they are going to net a better return than if I simply invest in the S&P.
The last 20 years has been pretty easy to be an investment manager, IMO. I think the market in the near future is going to be much difficult to find value, at least at the rate of return that has been experienced the last few years.
Also, the S&P is only an example. I personally think the S&P is currently overweight with Tesla, NVidia, and Apple. Making it less diverse than I would like. But I know little, which is evident by the questions above
