How to prepare before starting?
Starting at a L/S equity fund in a bit and looking for advice on what I can do in the meantime to hit the ground running on day 1.
Anything you would recommend I read (books, primers, earnings coverage) or do before starting?
To prepare for starting at a Long/Short (L/S) equity fund, here’s what you can do based on the most helpful WSO content:
1. Build a Strong Foundation in Investing
2. Follow Companies and Industries
3. Read Actively and Critically
4. Develop a Research Process
5. Practice Financial Modeling
6. Understand Investment Philosophies
By focusing on these areas, you’ll be well-prepared to hit the ground running on day one at your L/S equity fund.

You should create a Substack bc that investment process post is goated
How much would you pay (mo.) for a weekly post, case studies, and q&a?
There’s already a substack that kind of explains everything this PM kindly shares…with exact walk through and processes of the top PMs we always hear about on here.
Not sure what else could be added
Whats the substack called?
Can't spell it out because WSO will get nuke my account. Think of a fiery bird and add "learning"
