An Exploration of Business Development and Investor Relations in the Hedge Fund Industry - Part 1

 

Angela Samfilippo Gorder has observed the dawn and development of the hedge fund industry from every angle. Angie has over 25 years of experience in the alternative investment industry. Branching from her start as a tax consultant for Arthur Anderson's hedge fund advisory group, she has served as a senior research analyst, worked under Bank of America's prime brokerage's capital raising group, and led business development and investor relations at a hedge fund; in this position she watched her firm grow from 400 million to 10 billion in assets.

However, that's not all! Incredibly multitalented, Angie then transitioned her career to pursue a bigger goal of changing the finance industry by creating a consultancy, Samfilippo & Co, to improve women's leadership positions in finance. For this ambition, in 2020, Angie was recognized as one of the Hedge Fund Journal's 50 Leading Women in Hedge Funds. Sharing her multifaceted experience, Angie will explain each field she has worked in and the personal and financial skills necessary to succeed in these careers. Part 1 of this series will focus on her successful career in the hedge fund world. It will explore the ins and outs of business development and investor relations as Angie explains her path into finance from her small hometown in Michigan.
