Best region for AM job opportunities?

Hi all,

I'm looking for an entry level role in AM and I was wondering, which cities or regions do you believe have the most opportunity over the next 12 months?

“I recently met with Chris Riggs, a Mentor at WSO Academy, and came away with a much clearer picture of the path ahead. He explained how the internship is structured and what it offers, then pointed me to specific resources to review beforehand. He also walked me through how to write an equity research report and how to market myself to companies once the internship is complete. His advice was practical and directly useful given my background in corporate actions and fund operations. Thank you, Chris.”

Asset Management Mock Interview

“Today’s session was amazing and incredibly useful. My mentor was a massive help with both networking and interview preparation, particularly for my ongoing HSBC programme application. He helped me understand how to approach networking more effectively and gave me valuable advice on preparing for the next stage of the recruitment process. I really appreciate the time and effort he puts into helping me, and I left the session feeling more confident and clear about my next steps. As always, he was very kind, approachable and easy to speak with, which made the whole experience even better.”

Boston has several major AM HQs: Fidelity, Wellington, MFS, Putnam, State Street, John Hancock Funds. Also many PE/HF shops and strong BB offices (although not their main location). I would start there.
