The Omega Files (Inaugural edition) ———————————————— It has taken over a dozen years to get here. I was hoping it would be done by year 10. And we still have a few years before the Final Chapters of the Blume Fund I journey are entirely closed. The First Edition of The Omega Files are about a proclamation from 6-7 years ago. Eyes widened at various LP (“Limited Partner”) offices around the world when I told them that we will start declassifying our Fund performances and track records as we reach the end of life of the fund. There’s never a perfect time but this year felt like the closest we’ve been to the emotion of launching this new publication. We are almost done with all of Fund I and its vintage (will be fully done by mid 2024) While it took a lot of inputs and data to piece together from team members helping us, my able lieutenant in putting this out has been @AdithyaS017 with his interns. Without touching any other firm resources, he’s put his head down over 6 months amidst regular business, to get us here. A huge shout-out to @anandlunia and the team @IndiaQuotient for agreeing to, and contributing towards their guest cameo feature here. (We invite others to park their spots for edition 2 next year) And here we go: bit.ly/BVTheOmegaFilesEp1 Hope you’ve stocked up on enough popcorn 🍿 or nachos or whatever your snack of choice. Yes - it’s an iPad or desktop docsend view. Yes - there are dozens of other things we would have like to add. Yes - so many more hundreds of small stories. But we wanted to strike a balance between the two big truth parameters of the capital markets - Data and the Market itself - and blend some of the stories (the people are the most important part) in the second half of the report. Head is already spinning with ideas for the 2nd edition. For now, may the learning begin. (The J curve of a fund is more Jagged than The Rolling Stones…behold)
