Hedge Funds without math background

Was just wondering whether it is possible to join HFs without a mathematical/statistical/engineering background. I know that for quant role it’s not possible without a degree in such subjects, but what about HFs pursuing macro strategies for example? Is it possible with a degree in finance?

(I’m talking about London here)
