Is a Hedge Fund Job Right for You

Hedge Funds Brief Overview

Most hedge fund companies vary in their overall size, ranging from just a handful of employees to into the hundreds. Many of the smaller hedge funds are run very much like a small business, with a corporate culture that is typically driven by the CEO, owner and/or hedge fund manager.

The hedge fund manage is typically in charge of the entire operation and may have in many cases started the fund as well. They manage these processes:

Managing the Portfolio and Accounting Operations

Hiring/Firing Hedge Fund Personnel


Making final Trade Decisions


Monitoring Portfolio Risk


Hedge Fund Job Opportunities


The individual contributor roles may swing widely from one hedge fund job to another – as in investment banking, an individual who started out as a regular trader will in many cases have a similar position in a hedge fund.

In a smaller hedge fund your hedge fund job may have different responsibilities which is typically driven by the size of the actual fund. At a small fund, the traders will be involved with the operations of the trade. In a larger hedge fund there will usually be a an assigned operations person or even department that takes care of these functions.

Working at a hedge fund job is not like working at an investment bank or even a mutual fund. The vast majority of hedge funds don’t have a large human resources, marketing or operations staff. Many of these tasks are handled by the actual hedge fund manager. As a result, the manager is usually very busy and the hedge fund employees are expected to pick up the slack and even assist with interviewing new employees, working on marketing projects and even helping out in an operations capacity when need be.
