Thanks, do you any of you have experience working for this type of firm?
My best guess is you will learn a lot about the hedge fund industry itself. On the qualitative side, you may develop a good understanding of the different strategies employed by managers as well as the personal attributes and qualities that make a good fund manager. That angle of the business is primarily ran by the fund of funds manager however, not a new employee. On the quantitative side, I do know fund of funds use a lot of statistics to measure a prospective fund managers consistency and the level of risk if capital is allocated to a particular fund.
