How do i become a portfolio manager in a hedge fund?

I would like to know too. You can tell me if you achieve this.

Ideally you have a financial background, several years of experience and have a decent track record of managing other people's money.

Some people have gone from sales to portfolio managing, since they were already good at it.

At the very least, you need to be familiar with the following

• the various types of equities and bonds

• the benchmarks you may be up against and why

• Forex trading and how to leverage on it

• Options trading and how to leverage on it.

There are like 12 - 16 other relevant skills that I've listed somewhere (because I've looked into it briefly before) but those 4 would be a good start.
