I interviewed there a long time ago. The culture is VERY academic, lots of professor types, alot of people who would rather talk financial theory than about the World Cup. Keep in mind this was a Portfolio analytics job and i was the only one interviewing without a PHD, so dont judge the whole company based on this.
Interesting place though, they had great employee retention, and from what i heard great benefits (free food and gym on campus)
What division is this for? I know a girl in trading, I didn't get that impression from her..
Ziff Brothers Investments (Originally Posted: 03/18/2011)
Hi Guys
I was wondering if anyone had any info on Ziff Brothers Investments? (Not Och-Ziff)
From the basics up really.....sturcture, culture, hours, stories, compensation, reputation.....
Thanks
Does anyone know the AUM here? I have a intro meeting with them next week.
The headhunter (if youre working with one, amity im guessing?) should know the answers to these questions for the most part
know 2 guys going to work for them after their 2 year stint culminates...
I'm BUMPing this thread.
Anyone know how prestigious this firm is? And I know that the company has great retention, but what are the potential exit ops (Business School, other HF's, etc.) for say quant analyst/trader position?
Well I can't speak to the HF / Trading side because the guys I know work on the PE side... but it is an incredibly reputable shop and you would have no problem getting to a great b school from there, and I would assume the HF skill set would be quite marketable to other shops...
Ziff Brothers Investment team pros and cons? (Originally Posted: 09/03/2013)
What do you guys think about the opportunity to work for their investments team? Any pros/cons of working for them vs. your vanilla hedge fund or PE shop?
They manage a part of the Ziff family's assets & utilize a combo of alternative & value investing. Split off from OZ back in 2001, run similar size money, but hold less names & are longer-term investors. Know a few of their MD's - they're all a happy bunch.
Thanks Red. If you had the choice, would you prefer to join OZ or ZBI? Where would one get a better experience (and name) for an investing career?
OZ is well known for merger arb & roughly 1/5 of their investments are in US equities. ZBI is more of a classic bottom up shop. Different strokes for different folks, so couldn't answer your second question - that is for you to decide. OZ, however, is definitely the bigger name of the two.
Thanks a lot Red. If OZ has fifth of their investments in US equities, how about ZBI? Are they more international or less?
I know an analyst there in London and it's a great shop.
I'd say actually say the ratio of US equities at both shops is higher these days, given the big decline in emerging markets. between the two, OZ has the higher exposure of non-US. ZBI went into LATAM a few years back, but this has cooled down for obvious reasons..
any other thoughts?

Does anyone know anything about this fund? Does it have a good reputation amongst hedge funds?
Will be interviewing for a position under a head quant trader but want to know if this is a safe/smart move given the recent market volatility as well as the size of the fund ($1.2bil).
