**What should I major in to get into AM/HF
I am a high school student targeting to get into AM/HF (no interest in IB/PE)and ultimately becoming a portfolio manager .I dont know whether I want to become a Quant or Discretionary (or any straegy). What should I major in to have the most open options after undergrad. I'll also complete my CFA and probably get a top MFE/MSF . 1-Bsc Economics Maths Stats 2-Bsc Economics with Computer Science 3-Bsc Computer Science with Maths (study for cfa side by side) 4-BSc Maths with computer science and Economics. Like best combo for future . Interest in all . I will be completing my CFA although. ----------->
Your in high school, you have no clue what you want to do, go to a good school, get good grades and explore what you find meaningful before you say stupid shit like "I will be completing my CFA although". All of your majors sound fine (math is always the best for quants).

If you don’t know exactly what you want to do then Computer Science & Math will probably give you the most flexibility imo.
definitely 1
-Bsc Economics Maths Stats is the correct answer. (and learn to code in Python, plus some basic programming etiquette...can learn for free on youtube.)
Just keep in mind the best majors tend to be hard af and as a high school student you probably don't know how hard a major can be.
If you get to college and you're still interested in AM/HF, it's probably a good idea to take introductory finance (for fundamental PM) and programming (for quant) classes and see if you like the content. You can then look to try to get summer internships and network with alums that work in the industry - that should give you a good indication for whether the industry is a fit for you or not.
It's best to pick a major that seems more interesting. Keep in mind that HF/AM may look way more different when you're ready to enter the market then they do today.
