How to Pivot into HF? – ER Intern at Top Brazilian AM
I’m currently an equity research intern at one of the top asset managers in Brazil. CFA Level 1 passed. Graduating undergrad in economics in 2026.
I want to break into a top multi-strat HF (Citadel, Millennium, D.E. Shaw, etc.)., and my plan is to try to lateral into a BB (JPM / GS / MS) before graduation, then later pursue an MBA or Master’s in Finance.
My main question is, which BB division would give me the best shot at getting into a multi-strat HF down the line?
- Investment Banking
- Sales & Trading
- Equity Research
Also open to any advice on how to improve this path or other routes I might be overlooking. Appreciate any insights, tks guys.
I mean you can always try gun for the hedge funds directly no? Most of them hire from school
Unfortunately we don't have hedge funds structure in Brazil, that's why I'm focusing on moving to NY as soon as I can with the correct background
Considering that, have any tips?
think they mean applying to the funds you want to work in NY, they tend to sponsor ime
