Asset Management & Hedge Funds
Course objectives
To build on the basic knowledge gained on our own introductory course or elsewhere, to enable the delegates to understand the various functions that collectively make up an asset management firm. This deeper understanding will enable the delegates to both better sell their services to fund management firms and to the investment banks providing services to the asset management community.
Who should attend?
The course is structured specifically for people working in human resources, human capital management, recruitment and consultancy where the deeper understanding will enable the delegates to both better sell their services to asset management firms (including hedge funds) and better source and recommend candidates for asset management roles. This course will also be of benefit to operations and custody staff together with new or recent recruits into asset management firms, including those working within information technology, sales & marketing and other support functions.
