Pershing Square ?
Who has worked at Pershing Square/knows someone who did?
What resume do you need to even be considered to join Pershing Square?
Is this like a Top Middle School -> Exeter -> HYP -> GS SSG -> Ares -> HBS -> Pershing Square situation (elite of elite of elite)?
What schools did current guys go to? Heard they have a few ivey guys
How lean do they run?
not to that extreme, know two that went to Ivey in Canada, top bb/eb, exit to PE, then pershing square
While Ivey is elite, can't really be compared to HYP.. but the difference maker is being top bucket at their BB/EB and successfully recruiting to MFs before pershing square
They have like 4-5 analysts that all have Linkedin profiles. A quick Google search could have answered your question.
You could even look up their annual investor presentation for their publicly traded investment vehicle and read detailed bios for their investment team.....
OP do you go to Ivey ?

To be fair, I went to a top target and the kids who went to GS SSG exited better than most kids I know at top banks.

This was prior to GS consolidating groups. SSG used to be under Securities instead of MBD and the top group was MSI (fed into top credit and equity hedge funds) followed by PCI (growth/VC platform). Even then, the old SSG prior to 2018 had super strong exits. Not so much nowadays...
Think Pershinsquare and the other top activist funds have some of the smartest people you can find in finance, so it's about more than just going to a good uni.
LOLL this is a joke. Smartest at marketing and shilling themselves maybe. But not the smartest in terms of money management
2 and 20 for a sub 1 sharpe with high beta isn’t going to last much longer. These guys don’t provide much outside of levered beta. And the stuff they do provide is one off punts which sometimes pay off (in the case of the CDS this year) and sometimes get smoked (in the case of Valeant). I would rather put my money in a sustainable edge rather than someone punting and spending most of his time talking his book on CNBC
Why is everybody on WSO so obsessed with things like beta and sharpe ratios? You sound like you just graduated from your finance course. I bet you Bill Ackman doesn’t know or care what the hell the beta or sharpe ratio of his portfolio is. Answer this, a higher beta implies a stock is more risky because it’s more volatile. If a stock is more volatile that means you will likely have more opportunities to buy it cheaply and catch and upswing, doesn’t that make it less risky?
Who pissed in your cornflakes
“But but but their factors aren’t hedged”
Man folks have to chill and be real investors

You missing the point: all about the hairstyle, bruh

Damn my genes and my bald head :(. So any guesses on who are the guys who got hired from his fishing trip or sharing a cab with him?
>investment analyst at HF
>can't google two names on his own
the absolute state of the hedge fund industry
why bother when the sell side grunts can do it for us?
At least two guys on the website look like they are going bald
Try Propecia ;)

Pretty sure the jr guy who worked with Ackman on the hedge in March was Princeton -> GS TMT -> KKR FIG -> PS
Check the investor semiannual letters. Their entire team (4 or 5 junior IPs) is basically ex-Apollo or ex-KKR MF PE associates. Have a mix of GS IBD and BX PE backgrounds too.
Do you guys consider the Pershing Sq. strategy to be more private equity focused or L/S hedge fund? Where do you draw the line between activist hedge fund and private equity.
All these “elite funds” have the same background I’ve actually through a lot of the peoples backgrounds on LinkedIn and can sum it up pretty good. By elite again I mean the top activist funds, tiger funds etc.
