Blackrock FMA vs Investments

Hi all,

I am a first year Economics ug from the LSE applying for spring weeks and I wanted to know what was more prestigious/better for a career at BlackRock : Financial Markets Advisory or Investments (Equities or Alternatives). I have to choose two of them for the SP programme and I am not sure. FMA and Investments both look interesting but the latter seems to be more BR's specialty?

Will it ultimately make much difference?

Thanks
