Hedge Fund AUM
If a hedge fund's minimum investment requirement is $1 million, can you estimate its AUM?

Not from that piece of information.
If the minimum deposit in a bank is $100, can you estimate how much it has on deposit?
lol, if u combine it with the number of clients, then yes. for instance if they have 100 clients..100x1=100 mm minimum
Well, I mean like what size of funds would require 1 million? Funds with hundreds of millions or super small funds like 10-99 million?
no.
Don't know as much about fundraising for HFs, but for private equity funds many accept anything from 5mm + per investor, but they range in size from like 50mm to many billions with that limitation
You could technically just take $1mm and multiply it by the number of investors to get the floor for the HF's AUM, but the margin of error would be sky high. You have investors ranging from pension plans who are putting in billions to individuals who are putting in the minimum.
I don't mean to hijack this thread, but would it be appropriate to ask a fund what it's AUM is in a job interview?
Perfectly acceptable. In fact, that's something an interviewee should always ask.
Yeah, but you should probably figure a general range for their assets under management before you into the interview. This hedge fund directory provides aum numbers for most: http://www.hedgetracker.com/directory.php
I was just wondering because one time I asked this in an interview and I got what seemed like a dirty look or a scowl before they answered... and it's not like it was displayed on their webpage or something.
It's a very common question that people in the business talk about. When I meet peers at conferences, etc. we'll ask each other how much we manage. So, if they got mad I can only assume they aren't managing much (i.e., less than $1B).
The reaction you got is not normal, so I wouldn't worry about it.
There aum is a good gauge of how many employees they can hire, how well they can pay you and whehter they are going to be around for a while.
The guy probably gave you a dirty look because either he thought you should of known their AUM already before the interview or you he was embarrassed by how small his aum was
If they have under $30mm and have not recently launched - you should be worried.
$100mm means they can support a small team and have a chance of being a good place to launch a career
over $500mm and they are likely going to be around for a while
ok....lot of stupid stuff in here.
You can ask about AUM, most will tell you, some will only release that number to existing investors or those in final stages of DD.

I need to find info on certain hedge funds AUM. Can anyone who is knowledgeable on where to get this info please PM me? Google is not helping... I appreciate the help.
Do you have access to databases? Morningstar lists AUM. You could also try and find a description of the particular fund on wikipedia or a HF site. Getting exact numbers is hard because some funds like to keep that information private.
