1 Day Shadow Experience

Good Evening Everyone, 

I am currently a student studying economics and planning on doing it at university next year, after I wish to try get a job in the hedge fund world, which has led me into looking for a 1 day shadowing experience of what it is like in the world of hedge funds. I have started learning about trading since high school and since then it has always been my passion to work in the field of investments, I understand that my knowledge is no where near as profound as someone working in that field, even though I have read some books and trade myself as well as keeping up to date on all major economical news, I would say I am a committed individual. However I want to gain a first hand experience at looking what it is like to be in hedge fund and simply see what the environment is like, hence I am looking for a 1 day visiting experience to a hedge fund in London and would greatly appreciate if anyone could help me out!   

Thank You!
