Would working as a health care analyst pigeonhole me into the sector?
Hey everybody, deep into the process with a L/S healthcare hedge fund.
I’ve been wondering this whole time whether or not it’s a good fit. It’s a top shop and would be stupid to turn down, but I’m not super interested in healthcare. Not to say I won’t get more interested over time, but I’m curious if it would be possible after several years of good investing experience to switch to a generalist role or a TMT oriented role as I’ll be getting exposure to healthcare software, healthcare services, etc.
thanks!
Yes. But so would any other industry.
What about lateraling to a generalist fund that also covers healthcare?
Healthcare is a good sector to cover imo and you won't know if you like it until you try it. Everyone coming out of college wants to cover TMT but there's money to be made in every sector. And for what it's worth I'd put healthcare in the same category as consumer and TMT in terms of demand/desirability.
Obviously makes it harder to go to another sector but going to generalist should be no problem. Again though, the question is why you would want to leave once you have built up industry expertise. If you're making money and develop a reputation as a good healthcare analyst, it would be stupid to reset your career because you see another sector mentioned more on WSJ.
The coal industry is more interesting to cover than TMT, hands down.
Can alpha even be generated in healthcare without having a medical background/ phd in something related to medicine ? If so how would you advice an someone who wants to ramp up on the sector without having a medical background?
Have had some great advice, but would appreciate any additional input here.
