Oxford Algorithms Speaks with Frederic Guibaud from AlphaBee Asset Management
Oxford, 1st September 2025 – This time, in this latest episode of The Alpha Wo-Men, Sabrina Chiang, our Senior Business Development Lead, welcomes Frederic Guibaud, CFA, CAIA, cofounder at AlphaBee Asset Management.
With over 500 new manager launches on his radar each year, Frederic shares how his team filters the hedge fund universe, lessons from the 2008 crisis that shaped their liquidity-first mindset, and why detecting negative skew is one of the toughest challenges in investing. They also explore the role of diversification in multi-manager portfolios, the intellectual challenges that make hedge funds such a unique space, and the constant balancing act between strategy, structure, and people. Along the way, Frederic reflects on career lessons, the advice he’d give his younger self, and what he sees as both the best and most frustrating aspects of the industry.
