Catherine Shiang

Managing Director, Single-Family Office

November 2019 · 35 min

No one-size-fits-all: hedge funds as risk tools.

Catherine Shiang manages capital for a family office that's been operating since the early 1900s across Asia, North America, and Europe. Her frame is contrarian to the pitch-deck default: hedge funds as risk-adjustment tools inside total portfolio construction, not return chasers. She allocates roughly $100 million a year, and explains exactly how managers qualify.

In this conversation

  • Hedge funds as risk management, not return chasing
  • A century-old family office's operating advantage
  • ~$100M/year allocation and the new-manager path
  • Technology and AI adoption as a selection criterion
  • Infrastructure requirements before qualification
