Student profile

You should be willing to share your ideas, discuss them with others and listen to their feedback. As this track is relatively theoretical, you should enjoy doing your own research as well. An understanding of statistical tools and quantitative reasoning is a definite advantage. A bachelor’s degree in maths, economics, econometrics, finance or related disciplines is necessary.

Are you an open-minded team player who’s eager for a career in investment? What determines the price of financial assets? How do you allocate investments in order to optimise returns and risk exposure? If these are the kinds of questions you want to ask – and try to answer – you should certainly consider becoming a specialist in asset pricing.
