CSAM run a number of strategies in a couple of groups, both internally-managed and as a fund-of-funds. Do you have any more details on what you're applying for?

Sent you a PM

Hi there,

I am gonna start as summer analyst in CS AM this summer, i wonder if anyone can drop me a few lines on what skills and knowledge are required? and more insights on the type of work and responsibilities given to summer analyst?

Kenny, they don't just do the hedge funds. CSAM also houses their PE funds (The last vestigages of the DLJ name oddly enough), MACS - Multi Asset Class Solutions (read: Custom Portfolio group), and Volaris or whatever the hell they call it now (Volatility and Options Management and Trading Strategies). They have a Muni Porfolio Group that's under CSAM as well.

The answer to your question Jolisa, is that it depends on what group in CSAM you are working for. If you end up interning in Volaris, it's going to be a very technical interview. If you are doing MACS, you may be getting a more technical interview or a more fit interview depending on where in MACS you are being placed. Same goes for all of the groups at CSAM. Without knowing what you are going for, it makes it kind of hard to accurately give you advice.

Hi Frieds,

I am actually going to be the summer analyst in CS this summer (got the offer). but 'cause i will be rotating to different roles, including MACS, marketing, distributions and sales, etc, i would like to know what basic stuff will be involved in different roles and what they expect summer analyst to help them.

thanks a lot!!!

Frieds, didn't mean to say it was HF only, though (as you pointed out) the PE is branded differently including the DLJ arms.

Kenny,

I know you weren't saying it was HF only... i was just adding more color.

Color is always appreciated
