What is the best way to get into an NYC hedge fund from the UK

What do you guys think the best way to get into an NYC hedge fund? Should I try and get into investment banking in London and then get recruited for a New York role or do you think it’s better to a join a smaller hedge fund out of undergrad and then apply to New York positions
