From Mega Fund AM into HF

I will be starting in a graduate programme at a major AM fund (top 10 €500bln+) in London doing rotations in investment research track and PM track. I was wondering how hard it js to transfer to a reputable hedge fund within the next 2-7 years and get a PM track there. I love AM but I think I will eventually want to be in a more fast paced environment and my final ambition is to be a PM at a hedge fund, create a solid track record there, and then start my own buyside shop. Is that track possible? Is AM a good place to be for then moving to hedge funds? Also, which path is better for an eventual move to HFs? Investment research track or PM track?
