You can see it in the way big-name banks like Morgan Stanley and Citigroup poach existing shops and expand their hedge-fund practices. You can see it in the run-up of bloated, billion-dollar-plus firms. You can see it in how hedgies talk about their industry as if it is an industry, and not an unrelated mishmash of investment strategies...
