Have heard pretty miserable things about Gladstone
What have you heard?
Shitty culture @ Gladstone
sadstone
Well known in london that the gladstone PM is one of the worst guys in london … avoid.
AKO analyst seat is ok, no Bloomberg until you prove yourself over the years.
Heard AKO had a horrible year last year. You have any idea what comp is like there? Hypothetically they should be SM style and lean but European based players tend to just pay like shit
No analyst in AKO gets Bloomberg. Performance last year was poor so will be below HWM. Pay massively below market and will try sell it as a ‘training’. Very poor culture.
Ok but fuck Bloomberg right? You can ask your boss to come up with data if you need.
LOL.
Based on your comment, the inference to be made is that you are either not in the industry, at AKO, or at a MM. If you know, you know which part gave it away…
could you provide some colour in terms of comp?
If you care that much about short/mid-term comp in a top SM... it's not for you.
Have heard awful things about AKO
Hey, would you mind sharing? Thanks
hey- what sort of things have you heard about AKO? Any idea on comp at the junior analyst level?
✔️

What tier firms are these guys? I am in Australian HF and keen on jumping ship.
Also a q, are firms not required to post performances anyway by law? This seems to be the case in US/Aus.
Firms are definitely not required to post performance by law in the US. They have to post long positions quarterly in a 13F but that doesn't tell you shit.
Australia has HFs? Can you name a few so I can look them up.
Yes we do. Obviously the scale is neglibable v UK/US peers.
Here is a list of most MM HF's
PM Capital
Quest Asset Management
Auscap
APSEC Funds Management
Paradice
Totus
There's quite a few more - I can screenshot my list and DM if needed.

What bad things have people been hearing about AKO?
.
AKO not that well known in the US, do they have an office outside Europe? Bad culture/comp or what’s the challenge?
Guy who founded it rode the ‘quality’ wave and runs the Norway sovereign fund now. Heard culture is ok and not bad. No real insight to comp but doesn’t sound that great. The people they hire seem to come from all random backgrounds instead of classic IB.
