Interview with Matthew Klein, CEO of Collective2

Collective2 Top Trader Radio

Matthew agreed to be interviewed by his C2 colleague Roman on one condition: that Roman would be required to ask interesting, "hard" questions -- not just corporate B.S. like, "How did you get to be so great?"

Roman challenges Matthew on a few confrontational topics: Why does C2 allow crappy trading strategies? Why doesn't it impose some kind of "quality" standards on strategies or strategy creators -- or, at a minimum, why doesn't it filter out "young" strategies that don't have long track records?

Matthew answers all of these questions, and more, and -- in doing so -- explains why he thinks "young strategies" are important, why C2 sometimes is not allowed to build the best product it can imagine, why hedge funds might be "lucky monkeys," why one can't "have a conversation" with regulators, and why the Tom Cruise movie "Live Die Repeat" makes Matthew think about his life-long project of building Collective2.
