HF/AM resumes

There's a lot of content out there regarding IB/PE resumes, but was wondering if anybody had some good tips for HF/AM resumes - specifically, would you list specific "deal experiences" or investments? Currently mine has the following format:

-[Description] - Conducted bottoms up research....... -Selected investment experience: -[inv idea #1] - Retailer (short): Conducted channel checks.... -[inv idea #2] - SaaS (long): Analyzed XYZ...

etc... you get the idea

Tnasty, pure crickets, that's where I come in. Any of these useful?

No promises, but sometimes if we mention a user, they will share their wisdom: Eric.friedman hirotaka.onishi redrock

I hope those threads give you a bit more insight.

Yeah i mean depending on your career stage I think that is fine. One tip, do not use "bottoms up research". It should be "bottom up research". I personally don't care but I work with a very senior guy who went on a diatribe once about how "bottoms up" is what you do with a beer and "bottom up" is fundamental analysis.

Generally would highlight any industries you've spent time researching before, active investment recommendations you've made and interaction with management teams, sellside etc.
