let’s hypothetically say I’m joining a 500m to 1B AUM single manager fund. Since many of these funds don’t have much info about them online and may not have relationships with a ton of salespeople, is reaching out to previous analysts after getting to get a good way to do diligence? Or are there any obvious drawbacks from this approach?
