Sounds like you need some basic understanding before coming up with investment idea. WSO has a good recommended reading sections, start there.

I'm talking about liquid. Rich enough to have your own jet. Rich enough not to waste time. Fifty, a hundred million dollars, buddy. A player. Or nothing. See my Blog & AMA

oooooh I beg to differ.

in all seriousness you will start as an analyst and your ideas (assuming you're in charge of sourcing ideas) will make money for the firm if your thesis turns out to be correct. think about how hedge funds make money (on profits from investments & from fees earned on existing & new money). you don't contribute to the rainmaking (MD's do that), so your value is in the quality of your investment ideas.

 

I seriously doubt that anyone in an IB role would ask this question.

I seriously doubt that the majority of the folks in a BO or MO role would even ask this question.

Just admit that you are a freshman in college or Senior in HS so that we can properly address your question.
