Student interested in learning more about L/S & Credit

Hey All -

I am interested in working at a HF upon graduating uni. I am currently studying at Oxbridge and have some internship experience in finance where I picked up essential modelling and valuation skills through the firm's training program. I have been reading into some HF strategies, namely L/S and distressed, and I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction for resources to learn more about L/S and credit investing - I'm fairly new to concepts in the credit space but would love to learn more. I've heard that Moyer's distressed debt analysis is a good book to read, but could someone point me in the right direction to other good resources for beginners?

Help is much appreciated!

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. ”
