Whether you are an experienced PM with a multi-year track record or a sell-side trader looking to move to the buy-side, this framework document is a powerful tool for demonstrating that you have a clear strategy for generating P&L. It is often surprising how many candidates lack a prepared (or strong enough) strategy document, hence why I felt compelled to write this guide. This comprehensive guide provides some insights & tips for creating a strategy document that stands out. It covers investment frameworks, risk management, performance metrics, resource requirements, and more. Having represented hundreds of portfolio management candidates to our hedge fund clients (of which only a select few have been placed), we know what a successful strategy document looks like. The full guide can be seen below (if you click the link) and if you're interested in feedback on your strategy doc/business plan, please feel reach out to me at [email protected] and I'm always happy to share some thoughts. Lastly, I always welcome feedback from the broader hedge fund portfolio management community on anything I might have missed and/or that should have been included!
