In the early part of a career, the focus is on working as hard as possible to learn, grow, and build skills that a firm values. For me, that began at Fidelity, where I spent 18 years. Walking away wasn’t easy. A close friend gave me a collection of books by Joseph Campbell, and over time, they helped me see that my path wasn’t ending, it was beginning. I felt a calling to build something again from the ground up.  There have been hard days, sacrifices, and even tears, but there has also been a constant sense of gratitude for the opportunity to pursue this work, and a joy in working with a brilliant team. Starting Canopy was not about chasing money, fame, or power. It was about surrounding myself with people I love working with, tackling a difficult problem, and generating lasting impact. Canopy is that vision in motion. From signing our first client to executing our first trade, each milestone has been deeply meaningful. Crossing $1,000,000,000.00 in assets under management in under a year is truly remarkable. We are humbled by the trust of the hundreds of advisors who have made this possible. This milestone represents, more than anything, a starting point for everything we want to build. Our team is energized, building new features, and listening closely to feedback to make Canopy better every single day. To all of our partners: thank you. None of this happens without your trust and belief in us. With immense gratitude, Eric

Brent's put together an insanely great first-event. The content is fantastic, the venue perfect (looking out over the sound in Seattle), and the attendees engaged and energized. Buzz city.
.@DaveNadig and .@Ericgolden talking bonds and tax efficiency and why an UHNW Massachusetts resident should maybe not be 100% allocated to Massachusetts munis for their taxable fixed income sleeve.

Had a great time talking about tax optimization in fixed income at Basis Northwest. Thank you @TaxAlphaInsider for putting this conference together. Being interviewed by @DaveNadig is always fun.

Michael is being too humble, all investors could benefit from reading his work and his recommended reading lists As new hire at Fideltiy, I’ll never forget reading about ants following each other in a circle and how a death spiral is formed when there is zero exploration for new food sources. Strategies that work attract capital, everyone follows adding more capital, right until it all changes.
This is the time of year when a lot of investment firms welcome interns. While our work is geared toward institutional investors, a lot of it can be useful for learning about markets and the investment process. Here are a handful of reports and how they can guide interns:

We hear a lot about tax optimization in stocks... but what about bonds? Eric Golden will get us up to speed at Basis Northwest 2026 in Seattle. Eric spent nearly two decades at Fidelity before striking out on his own to build Canopy Capital Group. I learn something every time I talk with Eric, and I think he's got something special in store for attendees... See you next week.

Hyperliquid is a story everyone wanted to read about. @domcooke did an excellent job writing in style that is becoming uniquely Colossus, depth, intrigue, and storytelling.
This is the story of Hyperliquid, the most profitable startup per employee on earth, told from a guarded office in Singapore. Last year, its team of 11 generated $900 million in profit. It's 3 years old, has never taken a dollar of venture capital, and is beginning to change how century-old markets work. Its founder, Jeffrey Yan (@chameleon_jeff), had never taken a physics class when he picked up a textbook at 16. Two years later, he won gold at the International Physics Olympiad. In 2019, he started trading with $10,000 from a living room in Puerto Rico—working off a television because he didn't own a monitor. Within 3 years, he was running one of the largest anonymous crypto trading firms. Then he shut it down. Yan was rich and free, but he had spent years inside crypto, watching it betray itself. Bitcoin's central premise was decentralization. Yet the biggest exchanges were centralized. Crypto kept reintroducing the dependence on trust it was built to eliminate. He set out to create what should have existed. Hyperliquid is a blockchain with a trading exchange on top, and anyone can build on it. Yan's vision is to house all of finance. In 3 years, it has done over $4 trillion in volume. And in the past few months, it has begun to outgrow crypto. Markets for oil, silver, and the S&P 500 now trade on Hyperliquid around the clock, weekends included, and are growing roughly 40% week on week. When the US and Israel bombed Iran on a Saturday in February, Hyperliquid was the venue traders turned to. Hyperliquid's success has cost Yan his freedom. He works out of a secret office in Singapore and cannot travel without two bodyguards. Even the team's housekeeper doesn't know what they do. In January, @domcooke spent a week at their office. Read his profile on Yan and @HyperliquidX below.

CIO Chart of the Week: We continue to believe it is the Golden Age of Fixed Income. After the recent move higher in rates, high-quality yield (income) offers an attractive risk-reward for a portfolio. For example, if you bought US IG 3Y today at 4.57% yield, rates would need to rise more than 320 bps over the next year for returns to turn negative. On the other hand, if rates fall 50 basis points over the next 1y, you would return 5.4%. That asymmetry is representative of the opportunity in bond markets today: income can do much of the heavy lifting while preserving flexibility and providing a liquid ballast amidst an uncertain market.

"BFA will issue the bond, marking the first time a digital-asset company accesses the municipal bond market through an institutional, collateralized structure." No idea why they would use taxable munis to finance buying bitcoin, but I'm curious to read the offering statement.

The sign of being a great entrepreneur is not how good your ideas are. It's how clever you can be about figuring out quick, cheap, and easy ways to try them.

People ask about muni’s and I have much to say
People ask about muni’s and I typically don’t have much to say. But now, looking at the deficits caused by absurd spending, and tax policies accelerating revenue erosion, I can say avoid all General Obligation muni’s in California, Illinois & New York. I’ve never bought a GO.

Trait of successful investors I’ve seen over time - being above avg intelligence but downplaying it to make you seem avg as opposed to being above avg intelligence but always trying to convince people you are the smartest person in the room

“The market for feeling productive is orders of magnitude larger than the market for being productive. Most people, most of the time, want to click and watch the number go up. They do not want to be told the number is fake. They will pay— in time, in attention, in actual money— to keep the number going up.”

.@DavidDeutschOxf I wonder if the benefit isn’t that a 32-year-old can still solve a quadratic equation on demand. It’s that he knows he once could, and therefore knows he could retrieve it again if needed. That matters. It builds confidence in one’s ability to reason, and skepticism when presented with claims, rather than a reliance on authority that feels almost magical. As a parent, if humans really are “software,” as you’ve said before, what’s the right way to program the base layers? Maybe you’re right that much of this is a vast moral calamity, I’ve wondered that too. But I also wonder how you train a mind to seek truth without concrete examples like math, where proofs show there is an objective answer, and often multiple ways to solve it.
Replying to @mathladyhazel
More importantly, at 16, most pupils can solve a quadratic equation. At 32, few can. Compulsory maths lessons are therefore a vast economic inefficiency and a vast moral calamity. There is no justification for wasting people's lives like this.
