Stephen Fisher: gone fishing on his own terms 

Three years ago Stephen “Fish” Fisher, aka DJ Dr Fish, left JP Morgan after a couple of decades at the firm to set up his own fund in Singapore.

HFC’s Stefan Nilsson decided that it was a good time to have a chat with his former JP Morgan colleague Fish about running money, house music, shovelling snow, three billion Asians getting rich, what gets him out of bed in the morning, FT headlines, leaving JP Morgan, predictable markets, managing risk, aircraft leasing and fishing for absolute returns.
