You guys really need to learn how the tags work on this site I swear...
I would rather go with the mathematical finance but that depends on the rigour. I would choose that mostly because you can meet prerequisites of more rigorous master programs if undergrad doesn't work out.
Mathematical Finance is the most rigorous program in the faculty of Math at the university I plan to attend.
You literally named three entirely different areas of finance that require different skill-sets
True, but both majors help in all of those three areas.
No. You are wrong.
Explain please?
Statistics is irrelevant to AM or IBD, but very relevant to prop trading. Mathematical finance will probably have the best generalists' toolkit, but I have no idea what the program at your school is like. Just my $.02
University of Waterloo. Math Finance program is the most rigorous program in faculty of math.
