It's a lunch rather than an interview. Sure, show interest and knowledge and interest in the industry but try to connect on a personal level. This guy is having lunch with you to take a break from his day to day work and would probably rather talk about sports, girls etc
My apologies, but I'm actually a little confused... The titles says you "Scored Lunch with a Major Hedge Fund PM," but then in the actual post you say the person is director of hedge fund operations in the Asset Management division of a highly regarded investment bank... Those are two completely different things.
Since you said he is a director in "hedge fund operations," it sounds like this person is in a role that supports hedge funds by providing services and other one-stop-shop solutions to hedge funds and fund of hedge funds such as fund administration, custody, etc.
In other words, this person is not in an actual discretionary investment role (e.g. a role that generates or sources investment ideas and then invests trading capital to generate returns).
Obviously, it could still be a useful contact to have since he probably knows hedge fund managers and understands their respective strategies, etc. However, since this guy is not actually generating investment ideas himself on a day-to-day basis, it might be a different conversation from the one you are envisioning.
Please correct me if there is a misunderstanding on my part.
Spot on.
Find stuff in common to give you excuses to contact him in the future. This is a lead you keep warm until you can utilize it. You have a lot to learn and possibly a job or two before you can bring value to him
