If you aspire to work for multi strategy hedge fund Balyasny Asset Management in London, then 2021 has been a good year to act upon that impulse. BAM has been hiring like mad. The fund has hired at least 50 people in London since January, which is particularly impressive given that it only employed 94 people in the UK in 2020, the year for which its most recent accounts are available. The new hires are drawn from banks, technology and rival hedge funds and cover everything from technology to data to portfolio management, compliance and research.
