Contacting hedge fund managers

by Drago (Chimp, 12 Banana Points Points) on 8/24/08 at 11:16pm

I have the contact information of hedge fund managers, research analysts and assistants of various hedge funds through my past internship (fund of funds). I want to email some of the hf managers/analysts that interest me, introducing myself and asking for advice regarding my career path.

Just wondering though, could I get in any trouble for using their contact info?

I am in this same situation

I am in this same situation too and I am choosing not to contact them. The reason is because my PM has a super close relationship with his managers and any shopping around by me would cause a great deal of suspicion especially given the fact that he gave me an offer. Even if I turn down the offer right now, it would still look bad.

I didn't really work with the PM's at my fund. Any suggestions?

I would go for the phone.

I would go for the phone. Give them a call and ask them if they would be interested in showing you around the place (like a job shadow). if they accept that is your first foot through the door for communication, its easy after that especially if they like you
