Fair Play (2023)

Trader's Film Library #16 · Markets and trading in fiction. A thriller about how pressure for results destroys people.

Original title: Fair Play · Type: film · Created by: Chloe Domont · Usefulness for traders: ★★★☆☆

What it's about

Emily and Luke, a couple of analysts at a hedge fund, hide their relationship from their bosses. When Emily gets the promotion, rivalry and jealousy destroy the relationship.

What it has to do with markets

The film captures fund culture well: the pressure for results, the competition for the boss's attention, investment decisions driven by ego. The market is the backdrop for a thriller about a relationship.

Lessons for traders

• ego and rivalry spoil investment decisions
• comparing yourself with others does harm (Trader fitness, Performance #14)
• pressure for results spills over into private life (Performance #11: home, family, boundaries)

What to watch out for

A psychological thriller with intense scenes. Not for everyone.
