Econ vs Finance major for Fixed Income Trading/IB/AM
Hi, I’m a freshman and I’m still not sure if I should pick Econ major with Finance minor or Finance major with Econ minor. My interest primarily lies in Fixed Income Trading (High-yield, distressed, illiquid credit) followed by IB (M&A, Leveraged Finance) and AM (Trading, Portfolio Management). What are your thoughts on this dilemma of choices, which one to pick and why?
Would I need a specialized masters after undergrad like Applied Econ, Financial Econ or MFin for FI high-yield trading? If yes, which one and at which graduate school?
Probably should go finance major with Econ minor. Finance will give you more technical skills, and Econ can supplement your roles. Ultimately, if you go to a target school, your degree doesn't matter at all, so pick something your passionate about. If you go to a non target then you still can pick what you're passionate about, but it is imperative that you know your financial knowledge.
