I think that if you attend a top 10 school that will help. Also if you attend a school that is local and well known within the local hedge fund community in which you hope to work in that will also help. Beyond that I believe that just having finished your finance or economics degree and have completed some internships or relevant work will be the most important thing. I hope this advice helps.

I agree that you need more than just a track record to be hired at a hedge fund. There are things you can do to help yourself, such as developing a very systematic step-by-step investment process, sophisticated risk management techniques that are constantly evolving, and the development of best practice transparency and investment research methods. Degrees or certifications like the Certified Hedge Fund Professional (CHP) may help as well...but a track record alone is not enough to get hired.

In terms of Finance degrees, are there particular schools you recommend? I'm in Canada and will be completing a degree at UBC in Finance.

Thanks

Of course it would be verified.

What I'm saying is I've done over 100% last year and this year so far.

Just year by year, not compounded.

I've been daytrading using TC 2000 and Esignal on charts in different times frames using BOP indictators, 50 day moviing average, and others.

And I somehow doubt they'll care what degree I have if my returns are consistently high.

No lineba20, NO hedge fund would be interested in you! First off, your record is UNVERIFIED. Unless you have thorough, audited account brokerage statements people will just laugh at your claim. How long did you sustain this for? Furthermore any sophisticated investor knows that 100% compounded returns are completely unrealistic and unsustainable. Recklessly speculating on the Nasdaq is not a properly hedged strategy. You also need legitimate credentials such as a Finance degree and CFA charter.

Ok, if I have a track record of being very successful in the NASDAQ market (trading on my own), would there be hedge funds that would be interested in me?

The return is over 100% per year.
