Buyside Investment Research Website

If anyone is looking for investment research written by fellow HF managers, I would encourage you to check out SumZero. I'm unable to post the link here, but if you google SumZero, you will find our website! Also, if you shoot me an email at christian@sumzero. com, I'm more than happy to set you up on an extended free trial. 

For context, SumZero is the largest private buyside research community globally, with a research database containing over 14,000+ pieces of actionable, proprietary, investment research, written exclusively by members of the institutional buyside. If you're looking for idea generation or differing perspectives on names you own, SumZero is a phenomenal tool for both.

Also, if your firm is currently raising capital, we offer a capital introduction platform that has catalyzed $460M+ in allocations over dozens of transactions since 2014, with 0$ in success-based fees. At the moment, we have approximately 400 Limited Partners on the platform, ranging from family offices to endowments. It's a super easy process and a great way for emerging managers to supplement their fundraising efforts in a passive yet efficient way. 

Also, he have a buyside jobs portal that can connect you directly with hiring managers.
