The Monkey Fund
Only on The Wall Street Channel
Get ready for bananas-level finance comedy with Mr. Monkey’s Fund, where the world of Wall Street swings wildly into absurdity! Inspired by a hilariously true story, meet Ziv Bender and Marc François, two freshly-fired immigrant brokers from the heart of Wall Street. Blamed unfairly by a snobby wealth manager for market losses due to “slow trades,” our disgruntled heroes stumble upon the ultimate revenge: Raven, a charismatic chimpanzee from a local circus.
In a brilliant stroke of comic genius, Ziv and Marc establish The Monkey Fund (TMF)—a whimsical offshore fund with a serious case of investment derision. Watch as Mr. Monkey, with his booming voiceover commentary, picks stocks entirely at random from a Velcro-covered S&P 500 screen, inadvertently mocking every pretentious fund manager who ever existed. Each wild swing of his paw means “buy” or “sell,” all proudly displayed online with absolute transparency—and absolutely zero financial logic.
Follow the fund’s meteoric rise as Marc’s girlfriend Sophia, a sharp-witted French journalist, turns Mr. Monkey into a viral sensation through her YouTube hit show, “Mr. Monkey Weekly.” Chaos unfolds when Mr. Monkey’s “investment strategy” draws the ire of the SEC and wealth management authorities, who fear public confusion between monkey antics and actual Wall Street expertise.
As shares of TMF inexplicably soar, so does the fun. Revel in side-splitting moments including Mr. Monkey ringing the bell at the NYSE, climbing trading screens, and posing for pictures at flashy Wall Street events. Merchandising soon becomes hilariously more profitable than any fund management could dream to be, while TMF launches an outrageous lawsuit accusing the SEC of animal discrimination!
Filled with satire, slapstick moments, and sharp humor, Mr. Monkey’s Fund is a laugh-out-loud parody of finance’s pompous world, proving definitively that on Wall Street, monkey business pays dividends!
