Career Resources
Based on the most helpful WSO content, the terms SM and MM refer to Single Manager and Multi Manager respectively. These terms are often used in the context of hedge funds.
Single Manager (SM) Pros: - More job stability - Potentially greater salary - Longer-term investment time horizon (depends on the firm's/PM's investment style) - Better work/life balance (depends on the firm) - Less stress in general
Single Manager (SM) Cons: - Less access to sellside research - Less pay during good years - No brand name
Multi Manager (MM) Pros: - Amazing access to research, management teams and conferences - Well known brand name firm - High payouts during good years - Develop good relationships with execs/IR at company's you
As for AuM (Assets under Management), track record, culture, and comp (compensation), these factors can vary greatly between different SM and MM firms. It's important to do thorough research and possibly network with industry professionals to get a better understanding of these aspects for specific firms.

Single manager, somewhere around 1bn AUM, track record solid (purely anecdotal). Culture seems OK based on conversations I had with the team, they definitely say all the right things. That said they have had a fair number of people leave over the years (but could just be natural progression as some are now in PM / CIO or senior analyst seats elsewhere so may not be a cultural issue, who knows). No visibility on comp unfortunately.
Bumping. Any updated views?
