Honours Investment Management - McGill University
Hi Everyone,
I've recently been accepted into Desautel's Honours in Investment Management program (HIM), which revolves around students managing a $2M fund. Students choose a sector to specialize in and begin as Junior Analysts, moving on to Senior Analysts and possibly Strategists in their final year. That being said, I need to select one of the following sectors to begin analyzing and would like your advice.
They are as follows:
Fixed Income (considered a sector in this fund)
Energy, Materials & Utilities
Consumers
Industrials
Financials
Health Care
Telecom, Media & Technology (TMT)
With respect to future employment, and over all utility, which of the sectors do you think would be best?
Thanks!
Pick the one you're most interested in.
Amen to that.
Just do what you like cause recruiters won't fucking care, nor will your interviewers.
fucking these damn canadians playing dress up agian. Oh look at me, i'm managing 2k on etrade, i'm a bid dick now!!! #wannabedicks
Yeah just pick what you're most interested in or pick a field you are interested in learning more about. You're more motivated to do well and learn if you like what you're focused on.
And no, as an interviewer I would not care which area you looked at - so long as you can demonstrate to me you've gained a good understanding of the field you covered.
Hi I was looking at the investment management program at McGill and it looked very interesting. I have been accepted into McGill and wanted to ask you how I can work towards being accepted into this course because I know its extremely competitive.
Mcgill Honours in Investment Management (Originally Posted: 11/03/2010)
Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you could share some insight on Mcgill's Honours in Investment Management program, and/or McGill's placements in general (with emphasis on the last few years).

I know that Ivey and Queen's are better schools for banking, however, is it worth considering transferring to McGill as well? I am currently a sophomore at a Canadian non-target.
Thanks guys
I was in the program, the program itself is very good and getting better, you manage about $2M. in terms of banking placement, 12/13 got banking jobs last year and numbers are about the same for this year. NYC, Toronto, London, Montreal and maybe HK pm me if u got more questions
I think Canadian schools are seeing more and more investment management programs. (eg. UBC is supposed to have a good one?)
yes UBS has a program called the PMS program. instead of blackberrys they are all given Ipads

Ah, good old Desautels.
People party on a daily basis, and there's no class scheduled for Fridays (not 100% sure for HIM tho). He'll get to meet shit loads of people and bang cute french-canadian girls, not to mention the debauchery of frosh week. However, if he actually does his work and gets high marks, a couple of internships here and there, build rapport with the right people, he'd be able to do whatever he'd like after graduation, and earn pretty good money.
