I felt that the interviewer was too dry and less of Greg being boring. Some of the questions were repetitive such as Greg already mentioned early in the interview that he's taking smaller risks and keep his portfolio tight, but here comes the question about how he would respond to big swings. The interview would have been better if questions were targeted at issues such as how Greg deals manages his risk, how trades are sized, his thought process while looking at rate cycles and how he determine when to put on a trade or size up (essentially how he manages trade timing and size). As he mentioned he rarely does interviews ... but the questions were tad too philosophical, probably more suitable for longer term value investors, and less so for macro money managers who have to trade manage on a daily basis
I agree, the best interviews feel like conversations but this wasn’t at all. The guy just had pre-determined questions and wasn’t able to adjust. Seems like it would’ve been better with someone who had a lot of experience in the industry.
I see what you mean. The interviewer really went for Greg's personal philosophies rather than his financial prowess that made him a veteran in the first place. Now I understand why Greg avoids interviews haha.
