Best Major for HF
Which is the best major for a career as a PM in a HF? Math or Finance/ Econ?
If you have any personal experience in HFs I would really enjoy hearing your opinions and personal experiences.
Doesn't really matter that much. Can't go wrong majoring in finance/econ. What is more important is being able to explain why you are interested in investing and hedge funds specifically.
Better to join an investment group and start following specific industries / stocks during your spare time at school. Before I broke into the industry, interviewers always asked me if I was in an investment club at school. They want to know if you are truly interested in investing.
If you want to learn about my personal experiences, would read some of the articles I wrote about what I have learned over my career on Buyside Hustle.
Econ with a decent amount of finance exposure is probably the most directly applicable.
Then if you want to tack on something intellectually difficult like math, physics etc, that will help build the analytical and creative juice
