Welcome to Hedge Fund Alpha, a premier hedge fund intelligence information and data site. We welcome one off and on-going contributions from subject matter experts. Please review the following guidelines and best practices to ensure that your guest post aligns with our audience and editorial standards.
Topics We Cover
- Value Investing: Explore the principles of value investing, including fundamental analysis, intrinsic value assessment, and margin of safety. Evergreen or news contents.
- Hedge Fund Strategies: Dive into various hedge fund strategies, such as long-short equity, event-driven investing, and global macro approaches.
- Market Trends and Analysis: Provide analysis of current market trends, news, and developments in the asset management industry.
- Stock-specific: Provide fundamental analysis of a security. Note we love submissions on small or micro-caps with real earnings and business models, but anything too illiquid (usually $100 million or less) will not be accepted except by pre-vetted contributors.
- Securities: A thesis does not need to be equities, it could be bonds, converts, ETFs, options etc. We mention stocks since that is the majority of our write-ups related to investment ideas.
- Penny Stocks: Related to the above ones, we do not accept any penny stock promotions. If you are submitting any ideas which are secretly paid we will not accept and may even refer to regulators if warranted. We have had several scammers fined and sanctioned by the S.E.C as a result of our tips.
- Short-ideas: For legal and regulatory reasons we only accept short theses (even on mid-cap or large-cap stocks) from pre-vetted experts who are well-known to us. If you are new and have a reference we know we may consider - so feel free to reach out in that case.
- Interviews: We are open to interviews with experts, but have limited capacity. But if you or your ideas are interesting please do reach out. And in particular, if you are an emerging manager who is focused on small caps please send us an email!
- Investor letters: We love analyzing letters from hedge funds to their investors. Feel free to send us your fund materials if you would like a post on it, or to add it to our database. If we have permission we would post the full letter, otherwise we can do an analysis of the letter (note: If its an analysis we cannot guarantee we will cover it). All submissions are confidential and no one will know the source of it, unless you want that. In fact many funds will send us their letters but do not necessarily want their investors to know that.
Audience and Tone
Our audience consists of sophisticated investors and investment professionals who work in the hedge fund industry, other types of asset managers, banking and tangential industries including service providers. Readers range from junior analysts at tiny hedge funds to the CIOs of multi-billion dollar global funds. The audience is mostly U.S. based males who live in major metro areas and are well educated and have high incomes.
When crafting your guest post, aim for a professional tone that would appeal to this audience. Avoid oversimplification and strive for depth and clarity in your explanations. Note: We lean more towards content focused on fundamental-focused emerging long/short managers but that is not a requirement and welcome any topic which adds value.
Content Guidelines
- No Promotional Content: We do not accept promotional articles. Your submission should focus on delivering valuable insights, not promoting specific products or services.
- Paid content: We do not accept any paid content, links or even ads but we may be able to refer you elsewhere. If it is paid please let us know upfront. (Note: As of December 10th 2025 we do not accept ads or even labelled sponsored posts).
- Relevance to Investing or Hedge Funds: Ensure that your content is directly related to investing, hedge funds, or relevant topics within the area.
- Evergreen or News-Oriented Content: Your article can be evergreen, offering timeless insights, or news-oriented, providing analysis of current events or market trends.
- SEO Optimization: Incorporate the target keyword naturally throughout your article. Aim for a high Flesch score and adhere to readability guidelines for optimal SEO performance. But please do NOT make it sound too awkward. We favor good writing over “Google writing”. It is better to write well and have a bad SEO score than put in keywords solely to get the SEO score up.
- Unique: We accept syndicated or re-posted content but are far less likely to do so than for unique content.
- AI content: While you are welcome to use AI to help you think of ideas or outlines for topics, or to help improve your existing article, we do not accept articles written by artificial intelligence, with one exception. If you want AI to write the article and a human will go over every word to edit the tone and verify information and data contained in the article that would be acceptable.
- Immoral content: We do not accept any contributions from, about or links related to gambling, crypto drops (although real crypto ideas are okay), adult-content, or any addictive or unethical business model.
Submission Process
- Content Review: Before submitting your guest post, review our website to ensure that your topic aligns with our content focus and audience interests.
- Formatting: Format your article in a clear, organized manner with headings, subheadings, and bullet points to enhance readability.
- Word Count: Aim for a word count between 700+ words. We accept submissions above 2,000 words but unless it's an analysis of a security deep dive, we will likely split it up into two articles.
- Links: Include relevant internal links to existing Hedge Fund Alpha articles where applicable. External reference links should enhance the credibility of your content. You are welcome to include a link to your site.
- Bio and Photo: If you wish to include a contributor profile, provide a brief bio (50-100 words) and a profile picture. Make sure you own the copyright to the profile photo you are submitting; if you are not sure, do not send it.
- Submission: Send your guest post as a Word document or Google Doc to [email protected]. Our editorial team will review your submission and respond within 72 business hours (but usually much quicker). Note: If it's totally off-topic, we will likely not respond at all. If it is on-topic and you have not heard back, please try again.
- Affirmation: By submitting, you affirm that you are the author of the article, and it does not contain anything plagiarized, copyrighted, or anything that violates United States or New Jersey law.
- You also affirm that the article is in its final form and ready to post; we do not have the time to make edits except for mistakes or actual errors, not preferences.
- You give us the right to make (minor edits for mistakes or clarity) and use the content how we see fit as long as we provide credit to the original author.
- You must disclose any conflicts of interest or investments in any companies mentioned.
- If you plan to trade any securities mentioned in your article, you must disclose that and wait at least two business days to trade regardless of disclosure.
