Hedge Fund Compliance Professionals

Many resources are available that will help you to learn more about hedge funds and careers in compliance. First, check out What is a Hedge Fund? (https://www.businessinsider.com/personal-finance/investing/hedge-fund), which provides information on key characteristics of hedge funds, a summary of hedge fund strategies, and answers to FAQs about hedge funds. Next, familiarize yourself with the lingo of hedge funds by checking out the glossary section of the Alternative Investment Management Association’s Web site, https://www.aima.org/article/glossary.html. Finally, talk to compliance professionals about their careers. Your business teacher or counselor can help arrange an information interview. Suggested interview questions include: What made you want to enter this career? What do you like most and least about your job? How did you train for this field? What are some key skills for success? What advice would you give to young people about preparing for the field and being successful on the job? How will advances in technology change the field?
