Fellow Monkeys, I'm a PE associate at a UMM with a couple years of experience. Looking to get into the HF space and want to learn more about MM vs SM funds. I understand that the models are a little different (MM L/S = shorter term holds, SM = 6-18 month holds). Can someone explain: 1) Is MM or SM the best place to start? 2) Can you move between the two? 3) Since HF pods / funds can blow up, would it be relatively easy to come back to PE? Which type of HF would de-risk this career move? Thanks again for all the help

1. If you are coming from PE, then a SM would be better fit given the longer investment horizon. 2. I have seen quite a number of people in my personal network move from SM to MM....although not the other way around. However, I think that this is just a function of where the opportunities in the industry are these days with MMs growing a lot faster than SMs. 3. I If you spend a couple of years in HF and don't like it, you can always go to HBS/GSB and then move back into PE (you would just be behind your original classmates).
