Professional Development for Breaking Into Hedge Fund, Mutual Fund, Private Equity, & Research Careers

The Research & Asset Management Academy (RAMA) is dedicated to equipping underclassmen with the skills, knowledge, and mentorship necessary to break into the competitive world of investment research across private and public markets.

RAMA offers a rigorous curriculum that spans hedge funds, mutual funds, equity and credit research, and private equity. Through hands-on training, case studies, and mentorship from upperclassmen mentors, we prepare students to excel in the highly competitive fields of asset management and investment research by equipping them with the analytical skills and industry knowledge essential for success on both the sell-side and buy-side.
