Undergrad in college currently looking at interning at a LO AM (think Fidelity, T. Rowe Price) for my junior year summer internship in an equity research role. I'm thinking of doing L/S fundamental equity investing in the future and was wondering if starting out at a LO AM would affect my chances of doing that? I've heard they mostly recruit from top bucket IB and sell-side research and doing AM would mean you're kinda stuck in the role.
