David Zorub is the founder of Parsifal Capital. Before founding Parsifal, Dave accumulated fifteen years of experience in research and portfolio management at various hedge funds, in addition to several years in investment banking and private equity. I recently interviewed David at Columbia University’s Student Investment Management Conference, and our conversation delves into his career trajectory, as well as his insights into the philosophy and structure of hedge fund operations and investment portfolios. Starting a hedge fund in today's market environment presents significant challenges, and aspiring entrepreneurs can glean valuable lessons from an experienced investor like David who is embarking on this endeavor.
