Multi-asset: what are exit opps for someone coming from Multi-Asset involved in tactical asset allocation, strategic asset allocation/portfolio construction and well as doing research (ad hoc) on eg credit signals and projects on options strategies. They allocate into iShares for portfolios. Also will be using Python in role.

Ideally would like to pivot into a global macro / absolute return fund (eg hedge fund) but wondering how difficult this is? At a large AM that does do abs return funds.

Not helpful for this post, but would you be able to share more about your background/how you got into multi-asset PM/ thoughts on the role and universe etc? Happy to chat directly on this. I’m third yr analyst looking to move into this field of work, particularly OCIO for E&F space. Best of luck here with potentially making a move to the HF space.

I have 5-6 YOE and have been in an Account Management role for most of my career - is it worth making the switch to PMM at a smaller firm or sticking with what I know at a FAANG? Both would have relatively similar comp. Thanks in advance for your input!
