Eh, I've worked with Math and Physics Ph.D.s throughout my career (and I am one myself). Those qualifications are definitely insufficient evidence on their own that you could beat the market. Not to say that hiring isn't their secret sauce, but you'd have to hire the _right_ Physics Ph.D.s, whatever that means.

I'm not saying that they make money because of Physics Ph.D.s. I'm saying it would be kind of useless to hire those specific people only to end up doing insider trades the whole time.
