Corporate Finance Vs. Investment Management

Hey fellow WSO members! I have a short but not so simple question. I have an opportunity to potentially Intern at SAS this coming summer in their Corporate Finance Division but I am really much more interested in Investment Management long term as a career. As an undergrad looking for positions, is the SAS Internship/COOP opportunity a good experience if I'm looking to break into Investment Management longer term? I'm currently studying for my CFA and all. Thanks, everyone!
