How do I start my day
As a portfolio manager for a L/S equity fund covering US/EU, my key job duty is to know the market as detail as possible.
Other than daily operational tasks, such as portfolio tracking, error monitoring, rebalancing and conference calls, I would like to go back to the office at 8am every morning and try to digest the overnight market.
“Is it difficult/possible to get up around 6am and back to the office at 8?”, “how to get up?” and “don’t you sleep?” are the questions being ask the most often from my colleague.
My answer is “yes, it’s possible, if you get familiar with”. (Recommend reading: James Clear’s Atomic Habit)
Here is my breakfast reading list:
- Financial Times
- WSJ
- Hong Kong Economic Journal
- Bloomberg’s top stories
- Our brokers’ newsletter, i.e Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley and JP Morgan’s
- Excel spreadsheet which shows the stock, sector absolute and relative performance, volatility etc.
Of Coz, a cup of coffee ☕️
