Q&A: Equity Research in HK/Singapore
Hey guys, I've been lurking onWSO自从我的本科生以来,并认为现在是回馈的好时机。有点关于我...在西方国家长大,在海上高中,在澳大利亚一所顶级学校的大学里。一切都有点加速并毕业于19岁。大学毕业于大学,是一个家庭办公室,开始了一个长/短的资金,看着全球TMT。一年多后,搬到卖方去做嗯,覆盖许多部门。我是一名研究助理一年,然后在离开之前得到了覆盖范围(由于几个原因)。退出进入VC(我搬到公司经营不善)所以我现在移动back into a long/short fund.
一些非传统的生活/职业道路等等,但是thought it would be good to spread a bit of love with my experiences. Shoot!

嘿,
谢谢你的分享。I just got asummer internshipin嗯at aBB。My goal is to do convert it into a full time position and I am looking for advice. For sure, I plan to work my ass off during the summer but maybe it won't be enough. Are there DOs and DONTs specific to嗯?
谢谢你!
Honestly in this case all I can say is like in any internship, work your ass off, network, go to company events, make people like you. Take the time (even when you don't have any) to really learn your companies vs. just doing work, otherwise you'll actually come out of the experience just as clueless as you did going in. ALWAYS turn up to the morning meeting - at my shop, if you weren't in the morning meeting, you might as well have not showed up that day.
L/S in Singapore?
L/S registered in香,,,,but spent most of my time in Singapore.
嘿,looking for some advice into breaking into香/Singapore as a recent grad/analyst level in USA.
I guess its香作为嗯people which I had met in SG cover sectors like real estate instead. I was wondering if you could share more on why you have decided to quit to join aVC我的印象是VCsare doing quite well for the past few years. In addition, I was wondering whether family offices have higher AUM compared to the L/S funds in Asia. Thanks.
I was in SG for嗯。I'd share my sector coverage but would be better over PM since I had an odd (and rare) combination of coverage.
I am leavingVC因为我工作的公司更像是一个孵化器,而不是实际VC,,,,and I'd rather be actually investing. It's a bit of a strange company.
关于家庭办事处 - 它们在这里更加私密/秘密,因此很难回答。下午我,如果您想在我工作的家族办公室上进行任何信息。
Any advice on breaking into SG finance? I grew up in SG as a US expat and am itching to go back to SEA after graduation.
Hey Mate,
I'm an Aussie. Just curious, any lanuage skills required?
English is Singapore's first language. You'll do just fine.
谢谢你 - 更关心香虽然比SG。
您觉得行业的前景嗯/VC/LS Fund in香/SG?
我认为嗯is in a tough spot right now with new regulation and weak volumes overall. Bonuses at my shop were the worst in over 15 years last year (part of the reason I left), with many people getting 0. Structurally I don't see how this will change with perhaps a wee bit more upside from such things as the HK/Shanghai connect, but personally, I wouldn't move back into sell-side嗯。
I'm not too familiar with theVCscene since I've only been around for a few months, but I thinkVCsare primed to do well in SG with so much gov't support. In a way this may not be the best thing, but Singapore seems to have a way of just making everything they support work, so I'd look at the market favorably.香is interesting since there are not that many funds here but increasing support for making it a global fintech hub - it does make a lot of sense for fintech in香。。香VCwill be an interesting space to watch. I think the biggest issue at the moment is sourcing talent for the actual startups - this is a very tough process and very expensive.
LS资金 - 展望在什么意义上?
SG/HK中与宏观相关的位置有什么建议吗?
Not too familiar in this area, sorry mate :(
what are some advices for breaking into LS fund from sell side in香/SG? If someone were to work in香,,,,how difficult is it to transfer to SG, and vice versa?
Network network network. Getting my latest gig was not easy and I was extremely lucky they chose me with no language skills, but networking is key. The great thing about moving from sell-side嗯is you already have a lot of contacts, so just put out those feelers. I had a sales guy who kept referring me to jobs (when I unfortunately wasn't looking), but leverage your internal network too - just make sure the people you're speaking to like you :).
我认为,从HK-> SG搬迁非常容易。除非您很好,否则SG-> HK更难。
Thanks for answering my question. Could you talk about your interview process for the two LS funds? I know that it's probably even less 'formal' in asia so it would be interesting to see how it differed -- especially you have more exp the 2nd time around.
Howdy,
Thank you for doing an AMA. My question has to do with your age. You mentioned you graduated when you were 19. Do you think you allowed yourself enough time to explore other fields before choosing finance, specifically嗯?Any regrets over graduating so soon, or do you view it as "I'm ahead of the game, and will get to enjoy opportunities sooner than others."
All the best, goodbull
Hey goodbull,
I did 2实习和BBS和a rotation in one of them, so I had a fair idea of what I didn't want to do (IB). I don't think my age has been a hindrance in any way - I my age on its own has given me a bit of room to move around and try new things (within reason - don't want to fill the resume with 20 different things making me look entirely indecisive).
老实说,我不确定在Uni之后我想立即做什么,所以我在结构化的财务中扮演了短暂的合同角色,同时将其他地方的感觉到。当我在巴厘岛旅行中遇到公司的校长时,我的第一场演出有点flu露,但绝对不会后悔。我很高兴做嗯- 这是一次整个教育经历。
I believe at/after university, age is somewhat irrelevant - all that matters is where you are in your life.
Thanks for doing this ama. I just caught wind of it so going to frontpage it this eve

如果申请成为股票研究人员,那么成功的股票交易者对贵公司有多吸引人?
到我的l/s?我不确定,因为我仍在移动之前仍在服务。给我的老嗯shop, anyone is kind of appealing. I say this because we were known on the street from hiring from all kinds of backgrounds (some very odd ones too). But being a successful trader, you'd obviously have good market knowledge and know how they work which in itself would definitely be appealing.
How do firms in香/SG view graduates from European universities? If I know Mandarin and have relevant experience, could it offset my non-target undergrad school in Europe and give me an advantage over native guys in香/SG?
I'll comment on SG since I've spent most of my time there - I've only been in香a few months.
For theBB's it will be very tough. I remember during one rotation at one of my实习the MD was throwing out resumes with NYU on it because they "weren't good enough" - this was for corporate banking.
这BB's definitely like hiring locally at the junior level especially with a couple of strong schools (NUS/SMU) - I don't necessarily agree there are that many talents coming out of the schools (had a couple ofinternsthat were horrendous), but that's kind of the mentality.
我认为,如果您查看2级商店(即Jeffries/daiwa),甚至是当地银行,您可能会开枪。闯入的另一种方法是去当地/马来西亚银行(UOB/DBS/Maybank/CIMB/RHB),稍后再移动 - 我们雇用了许多来自当地银行的人也很糟糕)。只需注意,在这些地方将是马匹,但就月数而言,奖金是不错的。一些M'Sian银行付款还可以。
At a local shop you'd probably make US$30k base, with another US$15k bonus potentially.BBpay for嗯has been coming down over the past couple of years too - keep this is mind. Also tax is peanuts here so factor that into your calculations too.
嗨,感谢您的AMA。我有一些问题。我一直在一个小工作VChere in SG for the about 8 months or so as an Investment Analyst. The firm invests in local ad/marketing tech companies but our main business model is as an Asian accelerator for western mid-stage start-ups with an equity aligned model. It has been a real good experience but I am not sure how I would be able to leverage this experience for the next step of my career yet. I would like to jump to a larger fund maybe in a year or two. Could you please tell me how should I position myself or any routes etc?
Hey mate,
Not sure how much I can help you in regards to moving to a largerVCfund - I've chosen not to continue down theVCroute so you might be better served asking the same question in theVC/PEforums.
Sorry I couldn't be of more help - do let me know if I misunderstood anything!
