Hedge Funds

Carpenter Farraday work with a number of hedge funds, covering a range of investment strategies, including:

  • Distressed Debt and High Yield
  • Event Driven
  • Emerging Markets
  • Activist Investors
  • Long / Short Equities

We work with globally established funds, but we are very often mandated by US firms looking to build European portfolios by hiring smaller start up teams in London.  We hire all levels in hedge funds from Research Analyst through to Portfolio Manager and Chief Investment Officer.  Carpenter Farraday understands the fluidity of hedge funds and works in partnership with firms of all sizes to identify and track candidates who have the skills to develop specific portfolio strategies.  Our network in global alternative investors and banks allows us to identify existing specialist investors in hedge funds and private equity as well as bankers looking to make first time moves into hedge funds.
