Reflection – Storytelling 

 Challenge 

 My challenge is to convince investor to invest in my fund which specializes on full spectrum algorithmic   trading and asset allocation . Because a lot of the technologies , from data sources , ETL , to high   performance computing grid , etc . are built in house and proprietary , we are obliged to not to reveal too   much information that would impair our competitive advantage in the market . 

 Selection 

 The tool we apply is to storytelling , with appropriate abstraction and visualization to describe the   general concept of generating our strategies without telling what the strategies are exactly . This   storytelling approach include not only the visuals for the products we offer but also the investing   philosophies we have on value as well as our employees . 

 Application 

 For each strategy , we designate a carefully chosen color to indicate its importance and category , from   signal to noise , and from equities to bonds , etc . We also have an abstract roadmap that describes how   an idea was born with systematic research and test . It is also very helpful to tell our investors our   founding philosophies and the type of people we value highly . A story with the right cause and mission   really will resonate with the right investors . Although not all visiting investors buy our stories . Most of   the investors are very intrigued to know more about our investment philosophies from the demos we   show as well as our fund culture and hiring procedures . 

 Insight 

 A picture is worth a thousand words . Oftentimes , people are lost in the details and forgot the overall   picture . And in the case where the details are not ought to be told , an effective way to convey ideas and   philosophies becomes very important . A good demo also is worth a thousand PowerPoint slides . But at   the core , it ’s the comprehensive storytelling of how everything starts , how things work ( visually ) right   now , and how things will work in the future . The comprehensive story is tied to the funders and their   philosophies . 

 Approach 

 To achieve the above task , each step of the roadmap needs to be broken down to smaller pieces , and   each piece needs a convincing yet simple visual media for the investors . Although there are options of   hiring out third - party design companies to provide the entire suite of visual solutions , it is always better   to do everything in house to maintain the original recipe of how things work . A high quality presentation   also indicates the professionalism and culture of the fund and the pursuit of excellence should always be   in our mind .
