hey guys...i have been emailing around looking for potential fall 11 internships within nyc and I have landed an informal meeting with a hedge fund. A managing member is willing to give me a shot and wants me to meet him at a pretty upscale club next week. Has anyone experienced something like this before?
what sort of interview should I expect? I am guessing it will be mostly fit but what sort of technicals should I expect....all I really know of the fund is that it is a fund of funds. I am from a complete non target so this is a huge opp...any advice or anyone that could shed some light on these informal meetings would be a huge help.
I have already searched around and read all related posts so I dont need the "search button" replies. Any additional help/advice would be great. I do have a noobish question tho. I am meeting the manager at a private club( think ny athletic club,the tennis and racquest club, along those lines) and I am unsure about attire. I know it is a jacket and tie dress but is a gray suit okay? I feel it may be to casual? and a black would be too formal?..is it best if i try to find a blue suit in time?
Know the strategy and why you believe in it, why HFs, basic market stuff, etc. 1-2 investment pitches would be good as well. get a blazer slacks and a shirt. better to be over dressed than under. buy a guide or something
should I prepare a stock pitch if its a FofF, or try to find some of the funds it invests in and research on their investment strategies as well.?
Most important things are to have a coherent reason for your interest in a career with a fund of funds, and a basic understanding HF strategies.
If you invest personally that can be a plus (giving a solid investment idea and understanding the risks / reasons why it could generate alpha can show that you are capable of evaluating similar ideas by fund managers).
