Incoming Analyst intern - small/mid-cap Global Macro HF in London, UK
Hey everyone,
24 y.o., I came from a non-target undergrad (Economics), then got into a target grad programme (Acc&Fin). Past work experience includes microfinance institutions and consulting, as well as corporate banking at a Spanish-based BB bank.
I secured a 3 month minimum internship as an Analyst at a small-to-mid cap Global Macro Hedge Fund in London. The probability of me staying there after the first three months is high (assuming I don't screw it up). I wanted to know from someone that had experience as an Analyst (internship or FT) at a Global Macro HF or other strategy-oriented HF how I should best prepare for it specifically and what a typical day for me may look like and what my tasks will be on a day-to-day basis. Also, if you can give me some specific reading to do (GM HF-focused or other), I'd really appreciate it!
My goal is to potentially stay in the HF world.
Also, could anyone so much as share with me past trade ideas (preferably ones that are obviously not confidential or valid anymore, etc, but hey I'm all ears here!).
Hope to climb up the wso ranks and be a frequent contributor and help out in any way that I can! Thanks for any help you can give me! Cheers!
not too many trade ideas are pitched around here consider checking out seeking alpha for that kind of stuff
or you can consider asking @G.M.Trevelyan , since i think he's into that stuff
I think a better person to ask would be @"SonnyZH", as he is closer to yorur level and went through a similar path as you. Sonny, hope you don't mind.
Hey Matrick thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction, I appreciate that. @"SonnyZH", hope you don't mind helping me out a bit and me helping you out in any way that I can! Let me know? Thanks to you both and to Matayo
Sure feel free to PM!
To get things going I went to a target in the UK, summered at a BB and a HF before getting into a another large multi-strat HF in London.
If you have specific questions, feel free to PM me as well.
