Experienced Traders CVs

Does any have any or know of any links for or would be willing to share any experienced traders CVs who have spent a while working at a bank/hedge fund/prop shop

Just wondering what they look like after a few years on the job?

Much appreciated

I've seen experienced PMs/Prop traders with 2 page long resumes. This individual had graduated in the early 90s and had been an experienced PM for several years in both PE and an event driven/ LS fund. Mind you this person was a highly successful PM from a top-tier Bschool with an exceptional background -- so he was above and beyond the headhunter/HR mantra of a streamlined 1page resume.

The content consisted of the following - His sector coverage (e.g. this PM covered a number of things, from FIG to E&P) - What he managed, $ AUM, Leverage profile of his book, track record - Horizon/style, portfolio turns, tax efficiency - Recent performance - YTD performance and main trades w/ performance attribution - Any other managerial aspects (e.g. manage team of 5 research analysts, 2 execution traders)

His Research Analyst experience is similar, albeit less focused on performance and more about actual investments/transactions sourced/ideas-generated/executed

Pre-buyside experience was a few sentences.

Successful trades & deal sheet as a separate attachment (~2 pages). This is to verify performance metrics and/or provide view into successful positions: -Company name & long or short -Responsibility / Role on position -Transaction date -Instrument(s) -IRR -Comments

 

That's really helpful, thanks.

If I could ask one further question, what quantitative measures are there of tax efficiency of traders/PMs?

I'm also wondering what non-prop traders at banks resumes look like since they don't have quite the same performance metrics - its a lot more easy to concisely write up and quantify some successful longs and shorts than made $X 10,000 times through bid-ask spreads

Thanks again
