Current Work profile -
I'm working as an Off-shore equity research consultant with a London based Hedge fund. I'm a director in the Fund as well.
Last three year the focus was mainly generating investment ideas and saw some of my recommendations finding place in the fund portfolios.
Visited investment conference held in Cape Town and Munich participating/conducting management interviews.
Promotions:
After one year of work with Curr. Emp i was offered directorship in the Fund (2009-12)
I worked with the Curr. Emp for 3 year through a KPO before which they contacted me for a direct work contract.
Promoted to be an "Associate Vice President" in 18 months from a Valuation Analyst at the KPO where I started my work in Equity research (2007-09, Ex-Empr).
Recommendations:
- A Fund manager (a Univ of Bocconi, alumni), who I closely work with can provide me a strong reco.
- A VP at my ex-employer (KPO), is a IIM Kolkata alumni) can provide a strong reco too.

Active participation in family business in Micro Financing during School and College days

Part of local Toastmaster Clubs: on my way to get "Competent Communicator" certificate
Visiting faculty for CFA L1 (i did some times ago, plan to start again)
Aspirations
I aspire to be a portfolio manager in self-founded Hedge fund in the Long term.
I believe a top MBA will serve as a launch pad to get into leading asset management firms and work more closely than I currently do.
Network/contacts that I build will not only help me get my desired job profile but also help in the long term to build clients base and raise funds for my hedge fund.
YOUR THOUGHTS PLEASE:
Will an MBA help me in realising my dream career?
Schools that should consider (if I target GMAT:650-680)?
Suggestions for further enhancement of my profile?
THANKS
