Least Quantitative-Intensive Type of Hedge Funds and Couple Other General Questions?
Hi,
So I was wondering what types of hedge funds are the least quantitative and more or less look at fundamental analysis or other non-quant techniques to make money? I've heard that long-short funds might fit the bill, but are there any others? While I am decent with numbers, dealing with some of the higher concepts in math beyond first year calc and stat, so I probably won't qualify for the truly quant/CS-oriented funds. For long/short funds too, does a finance/accounting background suffice, or will I still need math/CS/engineering for those funds as well?
Finally, my other 2 questions are:
-
Is ER or Trading at a large bank/reputable boutique the way to go to get into the hedge funds?
-
I know that Hedge Fund pay is much more variable than PE, for example, but in bad years, how would HF pay hold up compared to PE and IB?
thanks!
buffett never even took calculus.
Buffett is a hedge fund manager?!
Sort of-kind of a combination of typical hedge fund (options investing like selling index puts), activist hedge fund (preferred stakes in Salomon Bros and Goldman), and private equity (Burlington Northern, etc).
OK, but I'm still not in a position that Warren Buffett is in terms of cachet or capital, so are there still funds out there that aren't quant-oriented?
Probably deep value/activist funds? Could be wrong...
