Absolute Return seeks reporter

Absolute Return has an opening on its news desk for a full-time reporter covering the U.S. hedge fund industry.

The position, based in Union Square, Manhattan, requires the ability to develop sources, a passion for producing daily breaking exclusive news and an investigative drive. This is a pure, original reporting role, with no rewriting of press releases, aggregation or repeating the days’ headlines.

Reporting experience and knowledge of hedge funds and finance desirable, but not required. The ability to be tenacious in the face of resistance is required.

Absolute Return is the Americas-focused publication of HedgeFund Intelligence, the leading global provider of hedge fund news, data and research. HFI’s publications include Absolute Return, Absolute UCITS, AsiaHedge, EuroHedge and InvestHedge. It is a part of Euromoney Institutional Investor.
