Releasing a giant New York hedge fund primer tomorrow (119 funds)
Covering growth, value, and style-agnostic hedge funds
Hello!
Tomorrow at 12:00 PM ET, The Equity Analyst is releasing a mega primer on 119 New York-based hedge funds covering value, growth, and style-agnostic hedge funds.
Most buy-side candidates fail before they start—they don’t know where to look.
Top funds don’t post jobs. They hire through relationships. And every PM has a unique, unspoken filter for who they’ll even talk to.
I’ve seen smart candidates waste months—or years—pitching the wrong fund or missing the right one entirely.
That’s why I built these primers. They map hedge funds and long-onlys by region, strategy, sector, and founder background—so you can find hidden firms, tailor your pitch, and build rapport faster.
For less than 0.1% of your first-year pay, you can skip months of trial and error—and get to a $300K+ buy-side seat faster.
