It’s not easy to get a job within a Hedge Fund or Asset Manager when your experience is predominantly sell-side. It’s one of the most sought-after moves that candidates are looking for when exploring new opportunities. The interest in buy-side Operations roles far outweighs the interest a similar role on the sell side would see. Competition can be crazy-high. So how does someone, with no previous experience of working within a fund, even stand a chance? ·    Prime Brokerage experience is almost as good as having a buy-side background, as you’re servicing the Operational needs of different funds. Processing experience is preferred over Client Services, but a PB background is a very good entry point. ·     Product knowledge is key. Hedge funds are trading multiple products across different strategies. The more detailed your knowledge of some of the more complex products, the better you stand out from the rest. ·     Broad exposure is your friend. Typically, buy-side teams are smaller with more varied coverage. The more variation you can show, the more appealing your CV will look. ·     Programming skills are only increasing in demand. If you’re able to automate processes (with evidence to back this up), it will be hard for you to be overlooked. While most hiring managers will probably lean towards those coming from a similar buy-side background, it is possible to make the jump across. You just need your CV to show the knowledge their role needs and the skills that are transferable across sectors.

Strength of Relationships - It's not as simple as just having terms agreed It's not about who you work with, it's how you work with them... **Company 1** Roles: junior to mid level Terms: 20% on base Exclusivity: Zero. Fastest finger first against multiple agencies WoW: Submitting through a portal or dealing with internal **Company 2** Roles: mid to senior Terms: 30% total comp Exclusivity: Full exclusivity / retained WoW: Dealing directly with the hiring manager This can be broken down so much further but it goes to show that there's so much more to consider than judging a business by who they work with. It's all about how they work with them! "We are one of 3 firms globally that are allowed to work PM hires for Hedge Fund X" "We are sitting down with a CIO of a US Hedge Fund tomorrow to speak specifically about ops roles.
