Title. Also what about the other cubs? Any that are moving more towards the low net, multi pm model?

idk
Yes I heard they hired that dude who who just dropped $70mm trading euro credit to help build up the platform
They are expanding into fixed income? Will there be a squeeze for FICC traders if SMS try to push into the MM model?
Any more color here?
holy shit, sawjani going to viking to build a credit platform is super exciting
What’s up with the current credit guy they have?
They were founded as a multi PM business from the start, and Andreas hasn’t run money since maybe ‘04? They benchmark PMs to 40% net exposure, not low net but also not Tiger or Lone Pine high net approach either. What exactly is new, at least on the equities side?
Viking has always been a fast money shop, even in its heyday.
What is genuinely fast money in terms of comp at places like Viking, assuming 2 years of PE straight out of undergrad?
Id assume you’d get paid a similar base to that of a junior at P72/Citadel.
Fast money means they have high portfolio turnover, not that you get rich quick, man.
Can someone comment on how to get to Viking as a junior analyst? Is it possible? Worth it?
Jesus, son, "hustling" never meant asking a web forum to lay out the steps you need to take to reach your destination.
Sorry sir, no one has ever asked for advice on this website ever before. My mistake for trying to get some info on a topic that I could find minimal info about.
Steadfast Capital management is a mid-sized tiger cub with a hybrid PM structure with lower net exposure than their historic peer set.
Friend there is always frustrated and said good people have left recently / idiots have been promoted so not sure about quality. Definitely a different place with DS / BJ no longer in the picture. For sure.
I was actually between there and another shop several years ago, glad I didn’t end up there..
Are you at a similar type of fund?
I’d say so? What exactly do u mean by similar type
