Hedge fund manager Vikram Kumar invests like he played cricket, staying patient for the right balls to bat to build long innings.
Kumar, a former batsman at Cambridge University, stuck by his investments at the TT Long-Short Focus Fund that lost money in 2014. The next year, his $420 million fund bounced back to return about 27 percent, the fifth best performer in Bloomberg’s global ranking of the top 25 hedge funds with between $250 million and $1 billion in assets.
