West Coast / SF based L/S HF
Hi guys,
I'm in the market looking for new opportunities this year, ideally would like to move to the West Coast (ideally SF but other cities are OK too) due to personal preferences. However, felt the HF community is much smaller on the west coast.
What are some of the good L/S HF there? A few ones I know are Valiant, Route One, ValueAct. Would be keen to learn more about the mid sized $1bn-3bn HF.
If anyone can please share a few good L/S HF that you know on the west coast, that would be great!
Thanks a lot!

isn't Sansome a PE firm that makes non-controlling investments in private companies? Tried to find their 13-f and couldn't find anything
It is the Fisher family office (Gap owners). They run a large public equity portfolio as well. Smart guys.
Thoughts on Dorsal and Verso

Think valueact is on the decline.. aum way down and most of the good partners left… wood line is the big multistat guy there. A few decent size tech and hc finds around town too…
Aum might have slipped but still 9bn+…
Farallon’s a big one
Have fun waking up at the early hours so you can be in the office and on your desk ready to trade at 6:30AM. Depending on where you live relative to the office this could mean waking up as early as 4AM. This adds a lot of extra stress on yourself in addition to the stresses of the job. Not ideal for many. And you might be tempted to think you’ll be able to leave early given the market closes at 1PM, but there’s a tremendous amount of pressure for you to stay many hours after the close since it’s still early.
Flip side is you still get to leave work at a reasonable enough time that you can hang out with SOs / kids in the evening that have more “normal” 9-5 schedules, and as long as you’re in bed by 9pm you still get 7 hours of sleep. Pros and cons, some like it some don’t.
That’s what some on the outside think. But as I said originally, you don’t get to leave at 1pm. The perception is that you still have many more hours in the day and end up working until 6/7pm easily, maybe later depending on market cycle.
Dawg realistically anyone working at an fund isnt leaving at a normal time. people working on the west coast are probably leaving the office at 6 or 7pm. Which sounds normal but is almost the same working hours as someone on the east coast.
As someone on the west coast, this is one of the reasons why I wanna move east. Waking up at 3am during earnings is not fun
