Currently in PE looking to move into public equities. I was recently approached by a recruiter hiring a couple analysts for a new PM that covers my sector. 

Saw they hired a new head of equities last year and have been told they're shifting away from credit to focus more on L/S equities. Realize that performance has been lagging despite their fanfare-filled launch and have a friend who used to work there that said he probably wouldn't move back given the option (he was not L/S equities). 

Can anyone share some insights as to how they're seen today/if it's still a good place to start given the new leadership or if I'm better off looking elsewhere?

whats the best word - xp has a history of blowing equity pods / units out 
 

i have always thought of it as  fixed income / credit / macro heavy place vs mlp /citadel / p72 which are bigger in equities 

in 2022 they blew out their westwind unit which was lik their answer to ashler etc 

so i would ask out how the firm is commited to the business / ask about the westwind unit / ask the pm you are interviewing with their plans etc 

 

Bump. Want to know latest on their equities unit (particularly compared to the other MMs). Seems like performance is improving?

 

Quia placeat vel sunt. Quam quia laudantium excepturi vero et quisquam autem laboriosam.
