Liquid Alternatives - Interview

Hi monkeys,

I was invited for an interview for a Junior PM position from a Tier 1 fund. They manage Liquid Alternatives strategies, not a lot of info online on the specific strategies, funds are restricted on Bloomberg like hedge funds.

My background is in AM, with focus on trading execution. I'm quite confident with usual AM stuff (markets, macro, instruments), not that much on quant/systematic. How should I get ready for the interview? Any suggestion on typical questions apart from basic understanding of Liquid Alternatives strategies (L/S, macro, CTA...)?

Does anybody worked on such funds? What is different from usual AM apart from the strategies they run?

Thanks

Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”
