How much can I shape my CEO?
Almost everything, in plain words. Tell it what to chase, “soccer, and within that only Barcelona”, and it sets up the research and recruits a specialist for it. Set allocation, risk and the conviction floor the same way, steer mid-flight with one-line directives, even push through your own bet (it sanity-checks, then places it). Two things never bend: every bet clears the gates against your caps before it moves, and the big ones wait for your sign-off.
Direction, in a sentence
The fund's hunting ground is whatever you say it is. Name the domains you want it in, or out of, and the research follows. “Soccer, and within that only Barcelona” is a complete instruction; so is “nothing political,” so is “surprise me.” The board is wide; you draw the borders.
The dials, in the same plain words
Allocation per bet, total exposure, the conviction floor (settled with your CEO at launch, raise it or lower it any time), whether perps and leverage are on the table: every one of these is a sentence to your CEO, not a settings maze. Change your mind mid-flight and a one-line directive redirects the fund the same day.
Your own bets, welcome
See something the fund hasn't? Hand it over. Your CEO sanity-checks the idea against the same discipline it applies to itself, then places it. You steer; it executes That division never blurs.
The two things that never bend
However you shape it, every bet clears the gates against your caps before a dollar moves, and the big ones wait for your sign-off. Personality is yours to tune. The frame is not negotiable, that's what makes it a fund.
