Activist hedge fund - How does the life of an Analyst look like?
Hi,
I am currently recruiting for a senior analyst role at an European activist hedge fund. As I am now working in PE, I don’t know how a day in the life of an analyst at such a fund looks like. I guess it is quite research heavy (what one senior already told me).
But how does research really work? How do do you monitor specific stocks? What kind of financial modelling is done at activist HFs? (e.g., do you go beyond calculating a required share price for specific IRR goals?) Maybe doing SOTP valuations?
Thanks
What’s the man power of the fund, is it sector focused, how many live campaigns might be ongoing at once (contested or not), is there a certain activist overlay (ESG), what themes does the team tend to pursue (M&A/scuttling deals, E&S, governance/board, etc)
Just trying to get better insight to hopefully provide a good answer since working at Elliott type would be different than a Cevian type and different than a Bluebell type. As a example my friends experience at one of the blue chips was much different than my former sector focused 15 man fund that focused on 1-2 live campaigns at a time
So they are approx. 10-15 people, no real sector focus, and focus on governance/M&A (including take-privates). I think they also try to do deals more on a PE style and „more friendly“ basis (buying „private“ stakes directly from family owners) rather than buying free float on the open market and make hostile campaigns.
