You should talk to the headhunters. You need to have below summarised: 1. what is the type of your strategy? Systematic? Discretionary? what is the product you are trading? what is your target market? what is your expected AUM? 2. can you provide them your tack records? what is the book size you have been running? sharpe ratio? max draw-down? the period for max-drawdown? 3. how do you handle your risk? how do you minimise the risk? how do you compensate for the tail-risks? how tight was your risk-management scheme? can you still make money when you are not allowed to have 50% of your net positions concentrated into one name? etc. 4. what was your cost for running above strategy? 5. where is your alpha coming from? (e.g., alternative data? mean-reversion? trend-following?)
