读商学院最好的理想是能参与到纽约的投资银行或者私募基金中. 做为一个tulane MBA candidate, Tulane给我提供 了一个参加hedge fund conference的机会,我谈谈我的经历
Conference涵盖了很多topics, 我也有机会和很多director, president, manager level的人networking, 有些人就直接问我兴趣在哪里,给我名片,然后让我去他们的网站上申请工作。我认为hedge fund还是已volatility为 核心的,目标还是 produce positive risk-adjusted returns with a low correlation vs. traditional asset classes. 想去manage hedge fund的 同学可以有三种类型:
(1)”macro” manager that will focus on a particular commodity or market and take large often concentrated positions
(2) “fundamental manager” that will focus on the underlying companies that traffic in a commodity or particular asset class.
(2) “quantitative” or model-driven manager that will use a tread following strategy that provides strong positive returns and low realized correlation to traditional asset classed for an extended period time.
no offense.. but unless you are a networking ninja, there is almost no chance to land an internship with a hedge fund with an MBA from tulane... just stating the fact...besides very few hedge funds have structured recruiting program and they usually only hire from HBS, Stanford, Wharton and Columbia. Good luck though
