It's almost random, as it is with nearly every top SM fund in the UK. They open up a position every few years and hire from various backgrounds without clear criteria - depending on needs around industry/country specialization, years at buy-side (sometimes they want sell-siders or the other way around), who from the team is running the hiring process (specific biases), etc. It's borderline lottery. 

 

Bump. Is working here enough to get a job at citadel point72 or other more prestigious funds after? They only own a few stocks so seem more like “beta” than idio stock specific alpha with overlays that are valuable to an LP

 

Here comes the Incoming Academy Associate at Point72

 

They own like 3 stocks and huge GOOG and MSFT (which go up every year). What learning/research are you doing there vs getting setups correct for earnings constantly and getting reps at a MM with a risk model vs just being long beta

I couldn't give less of a fuck if they owned three stocks or just put all the funds money in Google. As long as I get paid tens of millions of dollars working for renowned investor at a super stable seat then thats all I care about
