Hedge Fund Equity Case Studies For Internship

Hi there,

Just been given a equity case study to complete for one of the big HF for their summer internship for 2023.

I am at university coming from physics background but have been trading for about 3 years with a focus on a discretionary event driven equity strategy, as its my own money I've never had to present ideas to anyone else and haven't done a case study before.

Any help in how to structure my thought process and rational and/or what my interviewer will be looking to see in my answer will be appreciated.

Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”

Maybe value investors club may have some ideas for you to start. I think if you Google it the website may come up with some ideas on it. Good luck :)
