They start out analyzing other people's investments 10 ways to Sunday. Think of your case interviews but you need to define a half dozen frameworks that are some what different and executing on all of them to ultimately summarize into a risk/reward profile that gets plotted against a big portfolio of other similar investment evaluations. You model out several scenarios for upside and downside sensitivity and then you do the same for groupings of investments (not just individual assessments). And even after investment you continue to refine your frameworks and monitor those investments risk/reward profile to help the directors make exit decisions. And ultimately you're measured on the performance of your recommendations (including the recommendations that you made resulting in "exit" or "don't buy"- after all, opportunity cost is the biggest hedge fund cost). If you do well you start managing small assets and developing your own team of research analysts to give yourself leverage, and you are now held accountable to portfolio performance.
S& provided a ton of useful information and perspective, oh salty McK2
Thanks D2 and DD1. Will check out other forums. Anyone can take a near perfect guess at what this role entails, I was looking for more intelligent responses, but that's my bad 🤗
Interesting! Really helpful! Sounds quant heavy, given the role at offer is front-end investing, not sure if research is part of it or there's a separate support team to help out
OP is this a TMT HF in New York ... that recruiter has definitely been making a bunch of calls
You'd also be better served checking with your colleagues than here on FB, no offense to everyone on here, but this isn't an investment world savvy group.
Not sure why they are categorically looking for people who are Manager+, if it's the kind of work everyone describes here, wouldn't a quant heavy undergrad cut it nicely? Strange. Guess I'll know when I know
Just watch an episode of billions and you'll be an expert
I'm not salty or in FSI, I just know what other roles entail. It's called knowing what else is out there besides consulting
😂🍿🍿🍿🍿
OP- casual search on WSO reveals some answers. I'd look there but it may be too high level for you depending on your level of familiarity with the role.
S1- I'm a Manager here, so the title deflation seemed drastic. How tenured/experienced are these HF Analysts?
Data scientist
S& very impressed by your responses! What's your background? Do you have a MBA and/or did you previously work in banking?
S1 nailed it on the head. I worked at a fund for a year and the analysts are basically the people that do the number crunching on all of the possible investments. If the fund has private investments for instance, they may do the pro forma for a real estate investment with various scenarios.
I'd say most of your experience as a manager in consulting will not help out a ton unless you're still in Excel a lot. These guys live and breathe excel and finance. That's it. I'd say most of them simply don't care about the politics or their communication abilities. At the end of the day it's providing sound analysis and learning from your mistakes on each investment
Maanger 1 just cause your amart or work for a top comoany doee not mean you know everything. There is plenty of stuff i am sure you dont have a clue about. And your a manager.
Mck when you have more info let us know.
Wish you the best if you decide to take the job.
As an engagement manager, taking an analyst role is a step-down. You're back to being in massive Excels and at the bottom of the chain, as analysts are usually coming out of school. The money is attractive, of course, but I would seriously think about your future and interest in asset management. Also, within ~3 years you should be at the 500k mark yourself, no?
OP you would be working for a hedge fund manager, a "fund of hedge funds" manager, an institutional investor (eg a large family office, pension fund or endowment) or for a bank (eg in wealth management)? Chances are that the job content would be to be part of a due diligence team deciding whether to allocate $$ to particular hedge funds, monitoring their performance and risk profile relative to peers and to benchmarks, etc. Potentially interesting work with translateable skills. Hope that helps
Would you, not you would
Way, way too little info for anyone to be able to help you. It depends on the fund strategy -- like, what does the hedge fund invest in? Public equities? Distressed securities? Alternative asset classes? Is it a traditional long-short shop or some fancy algorithmic shop?
Yep - I'll share when I know more
Hedge fund analyst is pretty vague. Are you trading, modeling, both, what the hell would you be doing.
