Trading vs IBD for Distressed Fund in Asia

For joining a distressed hedge fund focused upon investing in Asia:

would a IBD analyst role (involving say 80% IPO, 20% M&A deal experience) a distressed debt trading analyst role have the upper hand in applying for an investment role with the fund?

Thanks.
