Background: Work at an Asia-US Joint Venture AM, as an Investment Strategist currently. Without giving too many details away, I'm based in Asia and the AUM is about 50B-100B USD.
If I were to compare my role to a sell-side role, it would be Global Macro/Cross-Asset Strategist. The key difference is that my team makes the house calls for the firm, covering all asset classes in DM/EM as well as economics/politics. Most of the work we do is Top-Down analysis, unless we deem bottom-up research necessary for analyzing macro risk (in 2016, I can think of Deutsche, Monte Paschi, etc.).
The team at this point is pretty small, and I'm lucky to have very experienced/talented individuals who have been portfolio managers at BB AM as well as hedge funds.
I'm worried about my exit opps, as I think I'm starting to become a bit of a generalist instead of a specialist. I was wondering if it were possible for me to hop over to a fund manager or junior fund manager role, with the final goal being HF. Does anyone have insight on what exit opps are available for a guy like me?
