Is it credible that a mormon hedge fund manager could be fit for a president?
Sure, why not? Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the 'Mormon' church) devote a lot of time and resources helping the poor and needy, so a Mormon candidate would be familiar with the issues facing the poor and be concerned with their well-being. A hedge fund manager would have a lot of experience in the financial world and would have some good ideas on how to get our country out of it's extreme debt. Of course, it would depend on their political ideas and proposals and whether I agreed with them or not, but I would say that the experiences of being a Mormon and being involved in the financial world as a hedge fund manager would be helpful for a prospective presidential candidate. These things would certainly make a candidate more credible, not less credible.
How does a hedge fund differ from a mutual fund?
Hedge funds and mutual funds are both managed portfolios in which the securities are picked by a fund manager. The securities that are picked are the ones that the manager feels will perform well and are grouped into a single portfolio. Portions of these funds are then sold to investors who are allowed to participate in the gains and losses of the holdings. However hedge funds are more aggressively managed as compared to mutual funds. They can take speculative positions in derivative securities such as options and can also short sell stocks which will increase the leverage of the fund. This means that hedge funds can also make money in an economic downturn. Mutual funds in comparison cannot take such leveraged positions and do not involve the same level of risk. Hedge funds also differ from mutual funds in their availability. They are only available to a specific group of investors with high net worth while mutual funds are available to any investors with even minimal amounts of money. There are a number of investment companies in India that invest in hedge funds as well as mutual funds of which Reliance mutual funds is a very good option.
Finding Hedge Fund Jobs?
Hedge fund jobs are some of the more stressful-- yet more prized-- jobs in the financial sector. With the diversity of investments that a hedge fund can be involved with at any given time, it's important for hedge fund managers to hire on people that have a diverse background in finance. It wouldn't be very helpful for a hedge fund manager to hire on a bunch of people that specialize in specific aspects of finance, so you need to make sure that you are not that kind of specialist when you're applying for hedge fund jobs. Finding these hedge fund jobs can be very difficult if you don't know where to look. With the recent stream of new regulations that have been coming down around the financial industry, some hedge funds are being forced to shore up their workforce and competition for these limited jobs. It's a feeling that is prevalent throughout the entire financial industry: it's time to work smarter. Public mistrust in financial institutions has caused a growing ring of regulation to be brought down on the industry, and this means that hedge funds need to be much more careful about the people that they hire now. While the job market in is competitive, there is still more than enough room for people that have the right mixture of skills and ambition. The trick is to keep looking over employment websites and to keep up with your old professors in college. Employment websites can make your search for hedge fund jobs much faster since the jobs will be put into an accessible form that you can peruse. Keeping in contact with your old professors is also very important since they will often have contacts in the financial industry that will be of use to you. Also, professors are great to have in your corner when you need to get some letters of recommendation. There is no doubt that the financial industry is a competitive one. While the regulations make it more competitive now, there was never a time when it wasn't exceptionally competitive in the financial industry. It's important to keep your competitive spirit alive when hunting for hedge fund jobs.

Pick up a copy of Hedge Hogging by Barton Biggs and Inside the House of Money by Steven Drobny for recent accounts of the inside goings on and the challenges of raising money without "connections" Hedge Fund Seed Capital Hedge Fund Seed capital is the money a hedge fund tries to raise to launch or within it's first year of operating to try to "get it off the ground" and hopefully raise enough assets to appear respectable to initial investors and provide initial momentum towards breaking even as a business. Hedge fund seed capital is in high demand, there are literally hundreds of investment groups looking for it right now and only three or four handfuls will receive any significant amount of it. Some hedge funds are seeded with as little as $500,00 while others receive up to $350M. From my experience I would guess that 68% of first year hedge fund seed capital levels range from $3M to $25M. * Hedge Fund Seed Capital Source #1: High Net Worth individuals (accredited investors) who are familiar with your trading skills, past portfolio management experience, or clearly understand your competitive advantage in the marketplace.* Hedge Fund Seed Capital Source #2: Family & Friends who are accredited investors.* Hedge Fund Seed Capital Source #3: Private Equity Firms. Many private equity funds have jumped into the space of seeding hedge funds and many will in turn work on raising assets for your fund once it will benefit both your fund and themselves. * Hedge Fund Seed Capital Source #3: Hedge Funds. Some hedge funds have huge amounts of free cash flow and are looking for ways to re-invest it within strategies they understand and do not directly compete with products that they plan to create on their own.
