Megafund recruitment intake

Anyone know the amount of analysts being recruited directly out of undergrad to megafunds / amount of associates recruited out of IB analysts? Just want to know generally how high the intake is, I‘ve generally heard it‘s much lower than IB, but is it quantifiable?

This sounds like the type of analysis that a banking MD would ask for:

Go to every MF website and count the number of Associates listed on the each website.  Please also include their start date and alma mater, as well as any prior experience so we can sort easily.  If the Associates are on a board, or have a board observer seat for a portfolio company, please also list this as well.
