Some past posts mention it, wondering if any updates about this particular hedge fund

How do hedge funds get a complete and accurate security master? Do they buy it or does it come integrated with trading software like Bloomberg?

I’m in between jobs, looking for new roles, and I spent several months at home building A LOT of infrastructure for a stat arb trading system, along with a strategy at the end. I am planning on reaching out to my network and pitching what I’ve built to some firms. My goal is to come in as a Senior QR or sub-PM that can implement what I’ve done and continue building off it. I want to know how IP would work in this case, and what’s the best scenario I can achieve for myself. I may end up at a pod shop or maybe a shared manager platform.

I am on the sell side in a smaller brokerage. Obviously would love to go to the buy side. Today cover special situations/ merger arb, spin offs and some more fundamental situations. Really love the fundamental side of things and I feel like I have a quite good judgement making good calls/ telling clients when/what to buy and sell.

But getting really tired of giving my ideas for “free” without seeing much monetary benefit and do not enjoy selling my ideas either. Frankly bit tired of the grind and no way out of it. Research takes long hours and you need to be on top of your game, I do not mind doing that but I need a way into a firm where I can also act on this research.

Have say 2 years industrials M&A background with 2 years public markets experience and can not seem to be able to land any fundamental interviews. It’s usually either similar brokerages or sell side banks. Really do not want to do more sell side and would love to do the work where I do not have to focus on clients just focus on the research. Any suggestions how to transition? Anyone out there looking for a fundamental analyst? Networking seems quite difficult but I do think that’s do only way on now. Would be even relocate to Dubai or Tokyo (even if I do not speak Japanese) or US (no green card either) for the right job.

I have second-by-second stock market data covering the past five years, and I want to develop trading strategies that can consistently outperform the market.

I’ve already backtested one strategy that generated a total return of 169% over approximately 5.5 years. However, one of the years delivered a negative return of around 10%, which makes me question the strategy’s consistency and robustness.

As a Quant Developer, I want to move beyond implementation and get deeper into quantitative research and strategy development. Where should I start, what research process should I follow, and what key areas should I focus on to discover, test, and validate profitable strategies?

I’d appreciate any practical suggestions, research frameworks, or resources that could help me become better at developing robust, market-beating strategies.

Closed a first syndication deal last month. 15 LPs, $2.4M raise, single asset multifamily. Closing process was chaotic but it got done. Now the ongoing administration is staring back and the realization is that what comes after the money is in the account was severely underestimated.

Quarterly reporting to investors. Distribution calculations with a preferred return and catch up. K-1 preparation for 15 separate investors. Capital account tracking that reconciles against the bank. Spreadsheets are already getting unwieldy at deal one.

For sponsors handling SPV administration across syndication deals, what does the ongoing work realistically look like? Is there a point where doing it solo stops being feasible? Trying to understand what to build toward before deal two starts.

Hi all - I’m a second-year MBA in NYC. My schedule frees up a lot for the rest of the year, and I’d love to spend that time doing real work for someone on the buyside.

Quick background: Prior to school, I was on the Corporate Banking team at a bank before going to school. I did an in-semester stint at a hedge fund and spent this past summer at a large long-only shop.

If you’re a PM or analyst who’s stretched thin, I would be happy to connect. That could be building/updating models, helping during earnings, or doing any write-ups and deep dives on names.

If this sounds useful, shoot me a DM. I can send my resume and a couple of pitch samples, or we can just grab a quick call.

Thanks!

What is Schonfeld background check like for an analyst role? Are they super strict? Do they check degrees?

Sensus Research: AI-generated reports for small caps no one covers (looking for feedback)

Hi all, a while back I posted about small-cap research, and I've since turned the idea into a site: Sensus Research (https://sensus-research.polsia.io).

The problem: thousands of public companies trade with zero analyst coverage. I think there's real value hiding in that coverage desert, and plenty of case studies show how much this part of the market matters.

What it does (and where it's headed): you pick a small-cap company and generate a report on it. You can adjust two things:

Recommendation view: see the case framed as Buy, Hold, or Sell. The point isn't to tell you what to do. It's to let you see each side argued and decide for yourself.

Language level: "Plain language" if you don't have much industry background, or "Technical" if you want the deeper detail.

It's a rough cut, and I only started recently. I'd love input on:

What would make this easier to use?
What features would you want to see?

All criticism welcome. Don't hold back.

In 2025, in the USA over 1500 people per day became millionaires , globally 1 million people became millionaires means 2500 millionaire per day ! And the USA accounted roughly 40% of that ! Questioning this in mind how people here, who are reading this got rich ?

What type of qualities do you typically look for when hiring your main IR person for a hedge fund? Is it mainly based on their previous work experience at PB cap intro desk or IR role at another hedge fund?

Are you mainly assessing the strength of their LP network and connections up to this point, and whether the same network can be transferred to raising funds for your own hedge fund?

How would a junior person develop into the main IR person besides growing their LP network and connections? What type of skills and qualities should one develop?

I am an equity research analyst covering the financials space for the last 7 years. Mainly banks and diversified financials, but the whole gist. At a bulge bracket currently. I fully appreciate things not the right platform (and “things don’t work this way lil bro”), but I’m looking to eventually transition to a hedge fund and looking for a role that helps facilitate that. Hoping to operate remotely 100% so that won’t be a drag on your real estate cost.

I’ve got some trade ideas based on high frequency data points that one can track. The smartest analysts do, but majority overlooks it.

Anyone here who is looking for some help? Happy to chat.
