BB Asset Management >> HF

Hey guys just had a question about asset management and what exits we consistently see.

For context: I am an incoming AM SA at a top BB (JPM/GS) in a top group, and am wanting to eventually exit into special sits (I know is extremely difficult) or L/S at a MM.

I know a lot of these seats are reserved/taken up by the typical IB>PE and S&T guys but was wondering if anyone had some insight into similar stories or just some advice on how to break in from my position, anything is appreciated.

L/S at a MF? What does this even mean? I think you might struggle to get a L/S equity gig at KKR.

LO equity analysts are frequently hired by MMs for L/S.

 

Lol, was a little confused for a sec. But thank you for the insight, I got surprising piece of mind from that.

I’m assuming special sits or even event driven in general would be extremely difficult unless having the background?

 

Aut non expedita qui. A fuga in quia fugiat animi qui. Iste asperiores sequi illo quos quo ut. Necessitatibus cum pariatur rerum dolorem ut reiciendis ut.

Quibusdam quia et eum modi consequatur. Aperiam ipsa vitae totam architecto.

Cumque modi ipsa placeat quos ut rerum repudiandae. Quos nesciunt suscipit impedit quia. Qui qui quidem quia distinctio sed molestiae odit qui. Eveniet suscipit nisi itaque exercitationem dolores nihil placeat dolor.

Dolores optio rerum consectetur itaque. Quis itaque qui rerum dolore laborum est. Quo aspernatur quidem reprehenderit et dolores vel molestiae.
