Wonderful program to break into asset management, especially for those with quantitative background
Class of
2024
Overall the AM program is amazing. The admissions team assess candidates holistically, and they want to know you as a person, your vision, and your motivation to apply for the program. The core courses reaches a balance between quantitative and qualitative parts of asset management - the courses are quantitative, intense, and data driven, which equips students with the ability to analyze financial data to have a better understanding of the market movements, the drivers/factors of returns, and to better develop trading strategies. More importantly, a lot of the professors of the program also work at hedge funds such as AQR as practitioners. Therefore, students are taught not only the theories on paper but also how these theories are applied and implemented in the real-world, which is super valuable. Students are welcome to talk to career development coaches to practice their interview skills and seek their advice all the time.

Generalized opportunity
Class of
2025
For a 1 year program student placements are good (factoring in the benefit of being able to work earlier but the cost of no internship opportunities during the summer). Professors are excellent as well as the people in the program. Since the program is highly selective admissions is able to create a well functioning, diverse cohort.

Great admissions experience for an ultra selective program. Admissions forms a holistic perspective on your profile and does a great job at creating a class of people with different experiences.

Strong community spirit among the 65 students in the program. We help each other driven by positive sum thinking.

Course quality simply unmatched. Professors come from the industry and craft their lectures around first-hand experience. You can tell they have skin in the game and have walked the talk.
