Wharton WITG/Harvard Charles River Growth Fund
Hi everyone, I have a friend that is attending Harvard/Wharton and is interested in IB/PE; thus, wants to get into his school's respective student-run fund. I understand that these are very competitive groups to get into but just wanted to get an idea on how to prepare for these. Questions:
- Are the BIWS/WSP interview guides enough?
- Do most people that join these clubs already have a track record in stock market simulators?
- Should he read textbooks focused on accounting, valuation, corporate finance, operations management, supply chain management (basically every leg of a business) to be able to understand businesses better; as the guides don't usually focus on these things
- Should he read industry primers of most industries?
JJust trying to get an idea of what the people that get into these clubs do, as just reading the guides seems like too little work
as a uni applicant I can't help you (I would if I could, believe me, look at my username :D ); but based on your post it seems that maybe you could help me decide whether if I am aiming for a top master's in finance in the US I should choose Bocconi or Warwick for my undergraduate studies
Warwick because it places better in London which is more respected for top US MBA transitions.
Thanks for the quick reply. On the second point, seems to me that my friend is interested in clubs for two reasons 1) as anything related to finance, it comes down to prestige, those groups are prestigious and some one looking at your resume and seeing that you were there will get you more than a few points, and 2) i fully understand that IB/PE doesn't have anything to do with the stock market, but investing in public companies is also not solely about the stock market. You're reading public filings, reading research reports, familiarizing yourself with industries, developing investment theses, there is some overlap between the tasks you would be doing and IB/PE. Sure it's not a perfect overlap. But it's kind of as good as it gets. There are other relevant clubs that you could join at W/H but it's not like they exclude you from joining the student-run funds.
