Releasing two primers on New York hedge funds tomorrow

Market-neutral/low-net AND event-driven/special situations

Hello!

Tomorrow at 12:00 PM ET, The Equity Analyst is releasing two primers on New York hedge funds:

• 28 market-neutral (or low-net) single-manager hedge funds

• 38 event-driven (and/or special situation) single-manager hedge funds

For the rest of year, I will finish covering the remaining hedge funds in New York and some states I haven’t covered.

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.

Serious about breaking in? Use my primers. Check the FAQ first, then click the button below to get instant access.
