Special Situations Credit Interview

Hi,

I have an upcoming Special Situations Credit Analyst interview with a US Hedge Fund based in Asia.

It seems that their investment structures include debtor-in-possession financing, bridge loan, venture loan, convertible debt, senior mezz term loan, etc.

Coming from a corporate banking/Levfi background, how should i prepare my interview?

How different is the credit analysis and due diligence compared to corporate banking?

I plan to read “Distressed Debt Analysis” by Moyer. What else should I read up on?

Thank you!

Hedge Fund LinkedIn Review

“My meeting with Kevin Lee was super helpful and went well beyond what I originally expected. We met to discuss my LinkedIn profile, but the conversation also covered the hedge fund space and how I’m thinking about my career as a whole. I really appreciated being able to talk about both how I present myself professionally and the broader direction I want to take. As someone interested in hedge funds but also exploring other paths in finance, it was helpful to have a conversation that connected my profile to my actual interests and goals. Kevin gave me a lot to think about, and I left feeling clearer about my next steps. Overall, I really appreciated his time and willingness to go beyond the original purpose of our meeting.”

Hedge Fund Mock Interview

“He was very responsive and prepared for the meeting. He actually read the JD, resume, and looked up linkedin which sometimes other mentors doesn't actually go over those to prepare things beforehand. I appreciate his direct comments I think it saved time and actually helped me to know exactly where to improve. I also appreciated him admitting if he doesn't know about specific HF strategy. Only thing I'd suggest for him is probably sending actionable key takeaways after the meeting because other mentors did and that was very helpful. ”
