Proprietary research roles at HFs - what do you think?
What do you think of working on the prop research team at a HF? Equity long / short ~3B in assets.
It seems like it could be really interesting but also quite demanding in the sense that you are constantly fielding research requests from the PMs.
Any thoughts on this role / path?
Few things:
1. You have to be a believer that alpha lies in informational edge (not everyone does)
2. You should ask other HFers here whether there is a path from prop research team to fundamental research team, because otherwise you will be stuck in a specialist role with no pathway to becoming the PM (if that's what you aspire to) - in the prop role, you will be doing a lot of data analysis and stuff, but yon won't get to touch financial statement, that's the concern
Thanks for the input - I got an offer and would love to get more insight from you
Hey, did you end up accepting this role? Would love to chat if so - I am interviewing for a similar proprietary research role at an MM.
Hey I also have an interview for a prop research role at a MM. wondering if you could PM me so I can ask you questions about the role. Thanks in advance!
