There is enough variance in analyst profiles at the "prestigious" value funds to suggest that you can and should target all of them. The interview process for value equity funds will be very similar. Maybe you'll have to do more distressed prep for value funds that invest across the structure.

Just shoot your resume in to every decent value fund when HHs come calling or through your network and hope for the best. 

If you're trying to generate a list of such funds, look for funds >$3bn with 5/10yr performance well below the market :)

 

Appreciate the push to shoot for the stars. Thank you - might as well shoot over my profile and see what sticks. 

As a random thought - is there a particular reason to push for a ~$3B+ fund? I mostly ask because I found a ~$2B fund I'm very excited about with good returns (and most importantly I love the people) but want to make sure I'm not missing something big (like I did re: Glenview haha)

 

I don't know whether OP changed the post because I swear it was written as "hedge fund" (or I am tripping, which is totally possible)

If not hedge fund, easy question: Baupost, Sequoia Fund (Ruane Cundiff), First Eagle, Cantillon, Brave Warrior, Pzena, Davis Advisors, Sound Shore, Harris Associates / Oakmark fund, Heartland Value, Miller Value, IVA (International Value Advisors, these guys came from First Eagle), Abrams Capital (David Abrams worked for Klarman), Akre Capital
