Interview Questions
Describe our strategy to us. L/S equity hedge fund, trade vanilla equities by either going long or going short on them. What do you think about it? One of the safest ways to extract value out of the market. Great stability. What do you think about the global macroeconomic spectrum? Talked about populism, rising interest rates, OPEC and their effect on the commodities markets, Brexit and its effects on Forex, strong dollar, pretty much mentioned everything that came to mind. Right after they asked me "Batman or Superman". Superman of course – he's superhuman!
