Boutique HF Interview Guide

Hi everyone,


I managed to score an interview with a L/S equity hedge fund and would very much appreciate any information you could share to help me prepare for the interview. I am preparing a stock pitch, reading up on the macro and industry trends, etc. but since I never had a HF interview don't really know what else they could cover. Appreciate any and all information. Thank you!
