Do you list personal trades on resume?
For junior people, say I have recently invested in stock A (compliance issues aside) and it has since appreciated ~40% in this crap macroeconomic environment, and I have actually thought about the investment a.k.a not some random russian roulette situation. Do I list that on resume when interviewing for hedge funds? Or I talk about it during interviews?
Does this help me get interviews? Fwiw, I have gotten interviews from ~$5bn L/S funds as well as $200mn small funds. No big name funds like P72 since I assume they don't like my brand name. Those big shops are also not my targets. Targeting that $5bn L/S type of funds. Didn't eventually land a spot because they froze hiring.
Not from a top target or a top banking program. Hence the question.
I would list that you manage your own portfolio and any additional info that could be useful at a high level (I.e. managed portfolio for X months, cover Y names, annualized ratio and perf of Z, or specialize in ABC). You could list individual names, but I think it is better to show general interest in investing and then allow the conversation to go to individual names, etc. Additionally, it is easy to cheat and pick out a winner and add to your resume, it shows more knowledge to give a few bullets about your process (are you doing deep fundamental analysis in a sector? Etc).
