hm. arent the funds you mentioned PE funds?
Cerberus (first tier)
Really, there are many funds..
fortress, lone star and apollo are private equity firms. idk about oaktree, but you can simply check their website if you are interested.
if you are interested in working for those firms, you should at least know that they (except maybe oak tree) are no hedge funds...
That's a good point. Based on their focus on distressed opportunities rather than classical LBO/buy-outs, I thougt they are more HF than PE (but I know that they also have PE teams).
Apollo, Fortress, and Cerberus have both hedge fund and buyout operations (and pretty much always have). Fortress has stated they're not looking to raise another main-stream buyout fund at this time and Cerberus's post-crisis successes has been largely mortgage HF-driven.
Thanks a lot, Kenny, for the confirmation. Any chance you know some more funds with office in Frankfurt?
Interested as well, dont want to go to LDN, thats why only Pfäffikon (CH) or Frankfurt for HF´s come into place.
first of all you go into banking then maybe you can consider some of those...some larger PE firms have offices in Frankfurt (Warburg, Apollo, Cinven, 3i) though they are much smaller in size than the LDN counterparts. For classic HF's it gets more difficult as not many have operations in Frankfurt (that is the larger US or UK ones). Geneva is quite good for that and while people speak more French than German you should be fine. Munich is quite well established in terms of PE as Bain Capital, Carlyle, EQT etc. are based out there.
Quite frankly the regulatory environment in Germany is not favourable to hedge funds and the general network in terms of investors, bankers, talent etc. isnt as established as in London for example.
In addition I dont see why anybody would prefer going to Pfaeffikon over London, that doesnt make any sense.
I was considering getting a CFA and going to a German school with the eventual aim of working for one of these firms a few years down the line (in Frankfurt). Which would be the strongest? WHU? Mannheim? Frankfurt School of Management? Goethe? I am inclined towards Oaktree's style, don't fancy IB/PE much (even though it might be a pre requisite to working at Oaktree). Have a background in Engineering and Econ.
