Hedge fund interviews test your ability to construct diversified portfolios, manage risk across asset classes, and generate alpha through thoughtful strategy allocation. Unlike traditional finance interviews focused on modeling mechanics, hedge fund interviews emphasize investment philosophy, risk-adjusted returns thinking, and the judgment to commit capital in uncertain markets.
Hedge funds look for investors who understand correlation, volatility, tail risk, and the subtle tradeoffs between gross returns and net-of-fees performance. They want to see how you think about portfolio construction, position sizing, and the discipline to respect downside protection alongside upside capture.

Why hedge fund interviews need dedicated prep
Hedge fund interviews operate at a different level of abstraction than traditional finance roles. While investment banking focuses on transaction mechanics and private equity emphasizes LBO returns, hedge funds demand investment judgment—the ability to think probabilistically about markets, quantify risk in multiple dimensions, and defend capital allocation decisions.
Generic finance prep teaches you valuation models. Hedge fund prep teaches you to think like an allocator: how to evaluate managers, diversify across strategies, measure risk-adjusted performance, and position a portfolio for both upside and downside scenarios.
