Im a sophomore, and i'd like to work here eventually so i figured i'd start building a network. is an asset analyst more of a BO role? I'm not completely sure..i thought FO was more the credit analyst of portfolio analyst

Asset Management Career Roadmap (optional)

“Andre was very personable, approachable and easy to talk to. I really appreciated his willingness to listen to my background, understand my career aspirations and help me think through potential directions. The session was particularly useful in broadening my understanding of the different opportunities available across digital assets and traditional investment management. I found the discussion around investment research, fundamental analysis, financial modelling, fund selection and investment due diligence especially valuable. It helped me think about and identify alternative pathways such as digital asset investment research, fund of funds, manager selection, venture capital and investment strategy. I also appreciated the practical suggestions of companies and organisations to explore, as well as the discussion around the skills and experience needed to move into these areas. Andre was knowledgeable, encouraging and generous with his advice, and I came away with a clearer sense of the opportunities worth investigating and some useful next steps. Thank you for a really helpful session!”

Asset Management Mock Interview

“Dimitri is a really good mentor. His subject matter expertise combined with him just being a really nice guy helped me so much through the entire process. His advice is super actionable, the repeated rounds never feel repetitive simply because there is always something new he can share and it's really nice how tailored his advice is and how he is doing the research himself beforehand.”

Might be similar to Portfolio Associate which is a FO role. It sounds like a FO role. They're vastly different from the conventional set up of HFs and other firms. In a good way tho. Ask more about his role and the steps he took to get there. You'll be able to figure it out after talking with him.

Fear is the greatest motivator. Motivation is what it takes to find profit.
