AM to L/S equity fund London?
Currently about to go to uni in London. Really interested in working for a hedge fund that deals with equities long term. Assuming I can’t break into the buy side straight out of uni which I understand is unlikely. Would Asset management at a top bank or REPE be a good path into some of the larger hedge funds? I have heard that once u do real estate you can’t really go back. Would other careers like IB/Sales and trading be a better stepping stone to hedge funds? Thanks all!
IBD is going to be your best bet.
Oversimplified tbh
Depends on the type of hedge fund you want to work at. If you want to do quant, L/S, credit, macro etc it'll vary.
Generally speaking, for Macro, you want to start in S&T, or alternatively, the fixed income arm of an AM.
For L/S you want to join one of the big training programs out of school or do IB/ER/PE
Your real best bets are to break into these funds from school. Citadel/Point72/Millennium have undergraduate programs for L/S and gives you some training before you join a pod. I believe some macro funds have graduate programs, but I'm less sure. If you fail to do this, aim for the sellside/AM/PE etc.
