We Review For:
Before & After Examples
Vague allocation work → Quantified manager selection
BEFORE
Researched and recommended hedge fund and private equity managers for the portfolio
AFTER
Screened 200+ managers across hedge fund and PE strategies, advancing 28 to on-site DD and ultimately allocating $2B across 15 funds — top-quartile selections generated 340bps of alpha over the composite benchmark
Generic due diligence → Deep operational DD
BEFORE
Performed operational due diligence on prospective fund managers before allocation
AFTER
Led operational due diligence on 40+ GPs annually, identifying 3 critical red flags (NAV manipulation, undisclosed side letters, key-person concentration) that prevented $150M in aggregate exposure to subsequently distressed vehicles
Missing portfolio impact → Attribution analysis
BEFORE
Monitored fund performance and prepared quarterly reports for investment committee
AFTER
Built proprietary attribution framework decomposing FoF returns into manager selection, allocation timing, and fee drag — demonstrated portfolio outperformed policy benchmark by 180bps annualized over 3 years, directly informing $500M reallocation decision

Frequently Asked Questions
How is an FoF resume different from a GP resume?
GP resumes emphasize deal sourcing, portfolio company value creation, and fund returns. FoF and allocator resumes must demonstrate a completely different skill set: manager evaluation, portfolio construction at the total-fund level, and the judgment to say no. We reframe your experience around selection alpha, risk management, and the analytical rigor that institutional LPs demand.
What metrics matter most for allocator roles?
Focus on selection hit rate (percentage of managers that outperformed), portfolio-level attribution (alpha from allocation vs. selection), pipeline volume (managers screened vs. allocated), and risk avoidance (exposure prevented through DD). We also quantify commitment pacing accuracy and liquidity management. These metrics prove you drive outcomes at the total-portfolio level.
How do I demonstrate manager selection skill on paper?
Listing names of GPs you allocated to isn't enough. We help you build a narrative around your selection process: how many managers you screened, what your conversion funnel looked like, which red flags you caught, and — most importantly — how your selections performed relative to benchmarks. The goal is to show a repeatable, disciplined framework, not just a list of brand-name GPs.
Does my resume need to differ for LP vs. FoF roles?
Yes. Institutional LP roles (pensions, endowments, SWFs) weight governance, board reporting, and policy benchmark adherence. Commercial FoF roles emphasize fundraising, investor relations, and fee-justified performance. Consulting-to-allocator pivots require yet another framing. We tailor the positioning to your specific target — each version reads differently even if the underlying experience is the same.
