Boutique hedge funds?
I had a chat with someone in my network and he recommended small/boutique hedge funds as a good place to start for someone new to the HF world. He cites a flatter structure (more learning opportunities/wearing different hats) and says these firms are more willing to hire and groom talent vs. the larger funds which hire people with hard HF skills. I'm talking about macro/multi-strat firms, not valuation-heavy like L/S or distressed.
Thoughts on this? How does one find out about these firms? I only know of one, and it's because the founder was a school alum and I found his name in a directory.
Most older people in investment management I have spoken to disagree. The chance of a small fund blowing up or shutting down are high, the lack of name recognition hurts when applying to future positions, and it's hard to know the quality of the education you'll get working at the place.
