London Hedge Fund

Hello everyone,

I'm a first year analyst at a BB bank in London and currently just weighing up the exit options.

Just curious to know what are the main hedge funds people tend to end up at after 1/2 years in the bank and how the compensation is.

Also curious how the retention is so do most people who go these funds end up being sacked after 1-2 years?

If we're talking L/S then Mainly the large multimanagers, since they are hiring aggressively and have the highest headcounts. Go read up on how a multimanager works.

This includes names like millennium, P72, citadel, balyasny.

You don't have a role so can't tell if youre in ER or IB. If IB then people can go to other funds with a variety of strategies. Merger arb, special sits, activist, distressed. Really depends. No specific names here.

 

At mms people do tend to lose their gigs pretty easily compared to other careers
