Agreed. Many smaller, yet successful Hedge Funds limit the capital they manage for this very reason. Some strategies just don't work at certain scale.



If the above is true, why would a fund not just allocate a small amount of resources to trade on OP's strategies. Either:

(1) OP's strategy performs worse than the alternative (2) They already do this, and have resources that allow them to outperform OP at their own strategy

If the returns are really meaningful, i.e. better Sharpe ratio than just holding $SPY or some dead simple strategy like that, then (2) must be true at least _somewhere_.
