I see two types of Hedgies.

One wears a flashy suit, expensive watch, cufflinks, and is even more arrogant than an i-banker (which takes a lot ;-) ).

The other types are the nerdy analytics with mismatched clothes and poor hygiene.

They can make an amazing amount of money since not only do they take a management fee (like a mutual fund) but also profit share once the annual return hits a certain level. IE. they get to keep a third of any returns over 12%.
