Connecticut Hedge Funds
Thinking of leaving the city and heading out to the burbs with my family. Any thoughts on the best hedge funds in the Connecticut suburbs? Beyond Greenwich, are there any other places I should check-out?

Can't think of anything outside of Greenwich and Westport (and maybe Darien/New Canaan).
Greenwich should definitely be your focus, although Stamford and Westport are also attracting a strong number of top shops. This list of the top Connecticut hedge funds should be helpful:

Don't mean to thread jack but does anyone know the best hedged funds in Wisconsin?
There are hedge funds in Wisconsin?
For top funds consider Stamford. I work here now but commute from the city and I don't mind the reverse commute at all. Once I have a family I am definitely moving to CT as well. Cos Cob, Old Greenwich are nice places to live when you work in the area. My coworkers also live in Darien and Greenwich.
I think the bigger question is do you have the skill set these funds are looking for right now? Most of the front office investment spots in these firms are highly coveted. People already there have large networks and like to fill them with people from certain channels. Maybe it is different for compliance, legal, back office, etc.
NYC clearly has the most hedge fund AUM, then London or Greenwich, then HK/SF/Boston? That is speculation but the point is that there are a ton of funds there.
Point72 is technically in Stamford but their offices are right by the Greenwich border, you can walk from their office to the beach at Tod’s Point. They are hiring like crazy.
AQR, Viking, Lone Pine, all of the Shumway spin offs, Silver Point, Conatus, etc are all in town. They are either next to the train station or close to it. Tudor is 20 minute drive from the train station. It would be tough to commute there via train.
I work at a fund out of Westport. Lot of great potential in CT.
