Bad look to cold email HF to see if they have internship opps?

Sophomore at Semi-target. I am interested in Credit and want to intern there next summer. Not many alumni in this specific asset class, and was wondering would it be rude to cold email credit funds asking for internship? (Obviously smaller AUM's) Would it be good to attach a credit pitch as well to show I'm serious?

Sounds good. I was wondering since there are certain info on credit that isn't publicly available, what would constitute as a good credit pitch?

Was thinking:

1sit overview

2capstack

3thesis

4additional info (Covenants/indentures if I can find any)

5pros

etc.

 

got it thank you. I was wondering when you cold emailed your current fund, did you attach a pitch as well? Or just float your resume?
