Should I cold email the MD of a fund I want to work with in London or should I go with a graduate that joined circa one year ago
There's a hedge fund with a graduate/summer program I want to join in London before I hopefully start my masters at a top target next year and I found out the MD went to my university (semi target russell group).
I want to cold email him my stock pitch and an introduction and ask for a call then a referral for an interview to this program. However I am worried it might get me blacklisted or something due to the audacity of such a thing. On the other hand there's a graduate analyst that joined a year ago that I made a wild guess he would be more friendly to talking, though he isn't an alumni of my university and doesn't have anything in common with me as far as I can tell. Who do you think I should contact?
Background:
1. Black Male - Sorry if this seems extraordinarily crass to state but I am really nervous about the whole thing and have seen so many great answers here over the years that made me respect the site hence I want to provide as much info to aid to your answers
2. Foreign National - Not physically in the UK atm and would need a visa, that's why I thought an MDs referral might be the only thing powerful enough to get me an interview
3. Work exp - Currently doing a big 4 audit internship, prev summer at a BB in treasury, irrelevant HR internship and former leader of student society in investment management, so not great compared to the double or triple barrelled BB S&T internship guys/gals that would probably be applying :(
4. Education (graduated bsc in accounting, upper second class, currently studying for cfa L1 for june next year (2020), intermediate in python
Email the MD, but visa thing could be an issue idk
