Leveraging non-IBD alumn?
How should I approach this? I have a couple of strong contacts in BBs (MS, ML, JPM) but unfortunately they work in AM. The last one is operations so should I cross that one out?
MS Director: primary responsibilities include sourcing, evaluating and monitoring multi-strategy hedge fund managers that participate in event driven and relative value strategies; responsible for manager selection and due diligence for Morgan Stanley's third-party fund of fund offering.ML VP: Global Risk Management with a focus on Credit Risk.
JPM Investment Operation Supervisor: Responsible for the Collateral Management of the Henderson Funds administered by J.P. Morgan; Involved in Middle office operations such as trade capture, pricing, collateral, security set up and maintenance
*note I am interested in PE/HF exit opps in the future
It doesn't hurt to try. You have nothing to lose. You should hit up EVERYONE you know.
I'd reach out to them, explain that you're interested in IBD (assuming that you are), and see if they can put you in contact with anyone who might be useful. Include the typical small-talk bullshit so it doesn't seem like you're just using them to get into IBD, even if that's what you are doing.
I have seen it work, but you have to be very diplomatic about why you specifically want IBD over the division your contact is in. After all, pride is a bit of a factor here.
I'm shooting for a SA 2011 position so I have a bit of time. I was thinking of breaking up the 'relationship' in 2 stages.
I would like to get a more rounded resume before I start applying for SA positions and I wouldn't mind taking some type of internship in their respective divisions assuming there is an opportunity.
