Imperial vs LBS
Analytics and Management MSc- London Business School
Investment and Wealth Management Msc- Imperial.
Was just hoping to get some advice on which would be better to break into Hedge Funds. I'm currently interning at a startup fund, but want to gain my way into the bigger hedge funds after graduation. I understand that the Imperial MSc is catered specifically for buy-side finance but the LBS degree has a significant amount of programming with general management which could pave the way into both Quant and Fundamental funds. Which is more prestigious and which would more likely help me land a job in the top funds?
LBS. Unless you really prefer the modules at imperial.
Edit: LBS is one of the top if not the top (is subjective) bschls in the world... obvious choice
Thank you very much for the advice, I am also leaning more towards LBS, their network seems better.
it's a tough choice because the programmes themselves are probably comparable.
But i'd choose LBS because through the MAM you'll also meet a ton of people going into IB/PE/HF. This will help in the long run.
MAM is small compared to other programmes so you'll develop meaningful relationships with your class.
The issue is that MAM is a bit new so not all funds will have heard of it but you can recruit for HFs from any top university. The differentiating factor is your numerical scores + stock pitches and ideas.
Going straight into a HF from any masters is pretty hard. Don't think it will be easy and cover your plan B, which can still get you in HF in the long run.
Commenting as current LBS student with Imperial friends - not a HF/industry guy.
