HF frequent interview questions?
Does anyone have a good idea of potential interview questions which would be typical for a long / short global multi asset firm?
Looking around I have seen obvious questions are if you have $xyz to invest what would you invest in? Are there any others? Are technical's from IB / PE relevant to the interview process as they are somewhat linked in company valuations? But I can also see them being of less importance maybe derivative strategies are more important?
Anyone?
not my area of expertise...but i've heard of L/S HFs ask for a few different specific L/S ideas...and they ask you to drill down and walk thru your analysis from top to bottom. This will demonstrate your expertise (or lack thereof) in a variety of subject areas.
Technicals from IB/PE aren't super relevant. They may ask you to walk through a DCF or some technical about EBITDA / FCF / ROIC / ROCE calculations but I would be more surprised than not if they do, assuming you have the experience to inherently understand those calculations. They may ask you your valuation methodology in the private markets and the extent to which you know how that transfers/doesn't transfer to the public markets. Perhaps if you have deal experience they'll want to know more about how you determined a valuation for that deal. Be very honest about what you know and what you don't know, they're going to be interviewing you to evaluate whether you are someone who BS's or sticks to what they know.
Know a lot about the fund - what their strategy is, what their latest 13f holdings are, how long they've been around.
Good luck
