Berlin, Germany -- (SBWire) -- 02/18/2021 --Frankfurt has been the financial centre of Germany since the second half of the 20th century as it was before the mid-19th century. Berlin held the position during the intervening period, focusing on lending to European countries. Frankfurt, Amsterdam, Dublin and Paris are all destinations where the majority of the financial services sectors will continue to host their European Hubs. The Eurekahedge European Hedge Fund Index (EHFI) took a dip in March last year. But, after a short space of time it managed to turn itself back around. From April 2020 overall performance began increasing and by December 2020 it had made a full recovery, peaking higher than ever before. Despite this drop in the EHFI recruitment as a whole wasn't too heavily influenced. Evidence from leading financial services recruitment firm, Selby Jennings, supports these findings.

As a company, Selby Jennings have noticed an increase in hiring at firms that invest in the following - in regard to strategies; long/short equity, distressed credit and special situations. And for event-driven sectors; technology, healthcare, and consumer industries. Furthermore, credit funds have performed extremely well, and have continued to raise new funds given the favourable market conditions, resulting in an increase in headcount across the more senior level to take advantage of their success.
