HEC Paris MIF – Capital Markets or Corporate Finance for ER?

Hello everyone, I am currently looking to apply to the HEC Paris Master in International Finance, and was wondering which specialization I should choose, Corporate Finance or Capital Markets.

After the master’s, my goal would be to work in Equity Research, either in an Investment Bank or an Asset Management firm.

I would like to know which specialization seems more suitable for my goals, and if any you know about the trajectory of HEC Paris students who went into ER and the specialization they chose.
