Good Evening,
I am searching for advice if anyone knows any Hedge Funds in the DFW region that will hire straight out of undergrad. I'm currently a senior finance major and would love to get my foot in the door however possible. Thanks

While there are a fair amount of funds in Dallas, both pods and single-manager set-ups, I would be incredibly surprised if any hired out of undergrad.
There are multiple threads on this site tackling this exact question, and the answers are all the same: go to a bank in either IB or ER, learn and develop the necessary skills then attempt to make the jump. I think I've even said this before on one of the aforementioned threads: it's not impossible, but highly improbable. Those couple of people that achieved this goal are the exception and not the rule.
Good luck.
Dallas Hedge Funds? (Originally Posted: 07/21/2016)
Did A search and there's some info on here but it's mostly dated. Anyone have info on some of the major players? I know of Highland, HBK, Carlson - any other big ones?
What strategies are you looking at? Equities?
Surveyor had a couple teams in Dallas
Fortress (Fort Worth) & Q investments (although I believe they do both HF and PE stuff),
Highland Capital Management is the only relevant hedge fund in Dallas.
yeah Surveyor has a decent sized office in Dallas. Isn't Maverick based down there also?

I was wondering if anyone knew about the "traditional" route to Dallas hedge funds? I'm interested in L/S equity funds.
I'm at a northeast target, but, to be honest, I'd rather avoid NYC.
Could I do something like SunTrust IBD in Atlanta then transition to a Dallas hedge fund?
I know that some people do IBD in Texas or NY and later move to HFs in Dallas. I'm sure a move from Atlanta would be possible, but it's probably not as common. A lot of the people who come to Dallas from NY have ties to Texas too-grew up there or went to schools like UT.
Hey if you can survive for 2 years in new york and do a BB banking analyst job it shouldn't be that hard to get back to a L / S hedge fund in TX. You just need to let the head hunters know your preferences. Given most people are not interested in moving to Texas you should have a pretty good shot. As, others mentioned working at a BB in TX (normally in natural resources group) would be another good way to get in the door.
