Hedge Fund Citadel Is Hiring Quantitative Analysts – Here Are The Job Interview Questions
Ken Griffin is the Chief Executive Officer of hedge fund firm Citadel Investment Group.
Ken Griffin originally developed the hedge fund’s proprietary investment strategy over numerous hard working hours and many years of painstaking research. The investment strategy can be summarized as such:
The hedge fund combines a proprietary computer program along with its fundamental analysis to enhance its security selection process. The computer program first short-lists the companies based on criteria such as market capitalization, liquidity of securities and foreign exchange risk. If so desired it then works out a recommended position to take based on weighted assessments along dimensions such as market multiples-based valuation and bond yield-curve shape.

The fundamental analysis department then takes over, performing further research and analysis, and finally deciding on the position that the fund should take. The fundamental analysis department currently has a staff of 9 consisting of: 3 senior analysts (who, incidentally, are also the 3 partners of the firm), 4 junior analysts (MBA level), and 2 assistants (fresh college graduates). http://www.hedgeho.com
Currently, of the 250 companies that the proprietary program shortlists, based on preliminary criteria, only 100 or so get analyzed every year. The hedge fund partners feel that significant opportunities are being left on the table, and would like to see how they can improve the situation, such as possibly hiring more staff or investing money in more advanced technology.
