$100m Hedge fund offer - what comp should I ask for?

Hi, I just received a research analyst offer to join a multi asset hedge fund with $100m AUM.

The total employees they have is 5:

1 fund manager

1 research analyst

1 investor relations

1 legal

1 back office

i will be their 6th member. 

im having a conversation with them for comp negotiation, and i have no idea what to expect or what i should ask for.

any thoughts?

 

What's your YOE? At that size tbh you can't really ask for anything, kind of have to take whatever they give you and say thank you. Why on earth would you join something that size assuming you verified title of VP is accurate?

Wilson | "If you don't have any enemies in life you have never stood up for anything" - Winston Churchill | "It's a testament to the sheer belligerence of the profession that people would rather argue about the 'risk-adjusted returns' of using inferior tooth cleaning methods." - kellycriterion
 

In all seriousness though I think this is a reasonable set up for that AUM. My question would be how senior the other members to try and back into what the run rate base pay is as % of management fees. Also what is the fee structure and targeted returns, what type of investors do they have, founder capital etc
