I have an on-site with Two Sigma Investment’s Strategy team soon. I’ve enjoyed my conversations so far and the mandate seems pretty broad, as expected. 1) anyone have personal exp working for a HF in a similar role? curious to know what your experience was like 2) more about the HF space in general; with a lot more alternative data providers out there and more competition, how would a systematic hedge fund make sure the data they get is still valuable to capture alpha? (I’m aware Two Sigma has diversified beyond just alpha capture, but I’m guessing it’s still a major part)
OP - Did you get the job? I’m in a similar position and trying to learn more about the role
Two Sigma Investments is not HF
