thanks in advance,

First off congrats. TCI is probably the one true place in London that can rival the best US HF shops in both comp, opportunity, etc. launching your own badass fund. 

So I went through the process a while ago, or at least part of it - I don't know how far I got, but I met a senior analyst and then basically did 3 successive case studies, one of an equity they gave me and then 2 I had to come up with on my own. And then it stopped there after the 3rd one. No idea how much else was needed to make it to the end of the process. 

Sorry probably not super helpful but hopefully helps a tiny bit.

This is interesting as not many people talk about TCI on this forum (probably because of the US slant). Seems like a privilege to have a shot to interview with them so hope you enjoyed the process.

If I could ask, how long were you given to prepare each case study and was it a 20 page presentation per case type of thing? Also curious if there was any time-pressured modelling tests similar to the platforms where they grill your assumptions and stress test your model thereafter.

 

Thank you both for responding. By being part of the process, I meant I was invited to do the 20 page type case study. Stupid question, but how deep do you go in your case studies? Mine has many angles and it is difficult to decide when to stop going down the rabbit hole!

 

helpful color - i am in process with them right now and would very much be interested in hearing about what your case process was like. i sent over a few longs and shorts I thought were interesting, they picked one, and now I'm going to report back in 2-3 weeks with a full case. curious what feedback you received +/-, and thanks in advance 

 

Is TCI a good fund? Would it be as good as tiger Cubs or platforms?

 

Would any other EU funds fall under the same classification in terms of being on par with top Tiger funds and being far superior to platforms (e.g. Egerton, AKO or Lansdowne)? 

 

Hi guys - does anyone know who looks after FIG in TCI? Thanks!

Abit of a strange question as my impression was that there wasn’t anyone who managed FIG specifically, though they are pretty active in it. Don’t think anyone here will know. There are like <10 analysts there. Is this for a FIG-specific role?
