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?

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.
