"If you mention spatial statistics, they will ask you questions about model comparison and Gaussian processes (things you are sure to have encountered in spatial statistics, unless you just used it as CV fluff). "Hedge funds (and banks who interview well) will ask you specific questions about stuff on your CV," says Bester. Quant hedge funds are much more rigorous when it comes to asking about your CVīefore you step into a quant interview, Bester says you also need to know your CV inside out. "Their questions mostly focus on algorithms from graph theory, but they’ll sometimes also ask you to solve a brainteaser numerically (for instance, to use Monte Carlo sampling to solve the Stick Breaking problem)." 2. Nowadays Bester says hedge funds are more likely to ask applicants to do a pair-programming exercise before they'll even speak to you. "One gave me a take-home problem to do with a week to solve it. It involved spatial statistics, and they wanted a detailed write-up of the solution." "When I was interviewing four years ago, some hedge funds made me sit an exam before they'd interview me," says Bester.

The fund is now managing Soros' family money as well as working with retail investors. In July 2011, to avoid having to register with the SEC and comply with reporting requirements under the Dodd-Frank reform act, the Quantum Fund announced they would be turning the fund into a family investment group and returning all outside money to investors by the end of 2011. In 1998, the fund lost 2 Billion dollars in investments in Russia. On February 14, 1994, the funds had a major loss of $600 million in one day betting against the Japanese yen. In 1997, Soros was blamed for forcing sharp devaluations in Southeast Asian currencies. Soros had bet his entire fund in a short sale on the ultimately fulfilled prediction that the British currency would drop in value, a coup that netted him a profit of $1 billion, also known as Black Wednesday. In 1992, the lead fund, Soros' Quantum Fund, became famous for 'breaking' the Bank of England, forcing it to devalue the pound. In 1987, the funds lost $800 million on Japanese stocks shortly before the Octostock market crash. The shareholders of the funds are not publicly disclosed although it is known that the Rothschild family and other wealthy Europeans put $6 million into the funds in 1973. Soros started the fund in 1973 in partnership with Jim Rogers. They are advised by George Soros through his company Soros Fund Management. The Quantum Group of Funds are privately owned hedge funds based in London, New York, Curaçao ( Kingdom of the Netherlands) and Cayman Islands.
