What are some intelligent questions to ask a hedge fund manager who focuses on credit trading?
-
I have an interview for an internship with a hedge fund tomorrow. I don't want to ask frivolous questions. What would you ask and why? Market-related questions are great!

Answer:
What are the credit qualities of your portfolio, i.e., do you focus on distressed debt, marginal credits or investment quality credits? How do you implement trades? Do you use derivatives like credit default swaps? Is your profitability based on choosing the right credits or macroeconomic events like changes in credit spreads and interest rates? How do you get leverage for your trades especially for distressed credits? Do you trade any structured products like CDO's? If so, what kind of credit risk do you typically take in such structured products? How do you handle defaults? Would you typically exit stage left or participate in a bankruptcy? Tell me a good story of a trade that was great. Boy that was sure a brain dead trade Jon Corzine did, huh?

If you don't know anything about the business I would keep quiet and just listen. You don't want to make a fool of yourself!
