Hedge Funds in Dallas/Fort Worth

Good Evening,

I am searching for advice if anyone knows any Hedge Funds in the DFW region that will hire straight out of undergrad. I'm currently a senior finance major and would love to get my foot in the door however possible. Thanks

While there are a fair amount of funds in Dallas, both pods and single-manager set-ups, I would be incredibly surprised if any hired out of undergrad.

There are multiple threads on this site tackling this exact question, and the answers are all the same: go to a bank in either IB or ER, learn and develop the necessary skills then attempt to make the jump. I think I've even said this before on one of the aforementioned threads: it's not impossible, but highly improbable. Those couple of people that achieved this goal are the exception and not the rule.

Good luck.

I know that some people do IBD in Texas or NY and later move to HFs in Dallas. I'm sure a move from Atlanta would be possible, but it's probably not as common. A lot of the people who come to Dallas from NY have ties to Texas too-grew up there or went to schools like UT.
I thought about doing BB IBD in Houston because I'm from Texas, but to be honest, energy is not my cup of tea at all. I'm a lot more interested in TMT and Retail. So I guess I should continue focusing on NYC banks then, huh?
 

Hey if you can survive for 2 years in new york and do a BB banking analyst job it shouldn't be that hard to get back to a L / S hedge fund in TX. You just need to let the head hunters know your preferences. Given most people are not interested in moving to Texas you should have a pretty good shot. As, others mentioned working at a BB in TX (normally in natural resources group) would be another good way to get in the door.
