Fight Night..!

We thought that this was a very weird and compelling look into the expatriate community in Hong Kong…!

This story appeared in Bloomberg about a growing trend amongst the hedge fund community in Hong Kong to learn martial arts. The bankers / fund managers are drawing parallels between fighting in the markets and fighting in the ring.

This culminates into a yearly event called the “Hedge Fund Fight Night” where a motley crew of inexperienced finance professionals fight for glory and charity..! The fight night raises money for Operation Smile & Operation Breakthrough.

A South African trust-and-tax lawyer is taking part without any other fighting experience except for “a few street fights”. Funnily enough, his mother noted that despite the training, he is yet to have a six-pack….

Cheers!
