Investor relation at hedge funds
Any thoughts on investor relation roles at hedge funds?
How is the job security/hours/upside/downside?
Looks like a small team of people serving LPs of hedge funds
Am talking about top tier hedge funds here.
Bump
Hours are good, mostly will be client management rather client acquisition (sales).
Client acquistion can be done via prime brokeage capital introduction services, your job will be manage communication with clients.
Of couse it will depend on the type of fund you're at, some funds will require you to go out there to do roadshow and presentations and set up meetings to acquire new clients, some also require you to go on cold-email and social media campaigns as well.
Generally, hours are good.
Pay is kinda shit.
Also this job tends to be reserved for good looking chicks, if you ain't one why are you even considering this lol
What do you consider shit pay? I was under the impression that they were paid pretty well.
Actually if you divide by the hours, it is pretty well.
Some funds will give you bonus if their IR is required to go out there and raise cap.
But you'll never get the package comparable to the investment side of the business.
Good looking chicks are the only people who can convince me to walk into a burning house. So yeah.
Found the dumbass who thinks attractiveness doesn't help a salesperson improve chances to close.
IR means different things at different places. If you’re doing client service and just responding to existing investor questions and running reporting it’s not a glamorous gig but the hours would be light.
I can’t speak to hedge funds but I work in “IR” in another alternative asset class and focus on BD / Capital formation. At all levels our comp is a modest haircut to the investment team. Everyone wants to write checks and far fewer people are good at getting people to give you their money.
Do you think working in such roles requires you to understand the investment strategies of the firm deeply and so to explain to the LPs, or it is more about relationship management / sales role?
And for questions from investors, can you give some examples on that? I assume if they want to learn about the industry / latest macro news, it is better to talk to sell side research or sales directly, instead of talking to an IR
