Am debating pitching MMs on coming in with a small sleeve. Ran a paper portfolio under a similar high-idio risk model at a competing (non MM) HF and put up HSD RoGMV annually for 2 years. Now looking to put on risk for real, and it stands to reason my best shot is at a MM. I feel confident I can...

title; i’m nervous about this as i’ve never built out a model. if most people are moved to this stage, im not sure if its worth my time during finals or if i should try anyway. for context this is the full time 2026 academy, i have an upcoming buy side internship but literally 0 finance...

6 rounds of interview in total. At the early stages of the interview process, HR mentioned that there is no budget allocated for the role. Fast forward to 6 rounds of interview (including superday), hiring team and HR are offended by my expected salary and they were reluctant to negotiate or provide...

Anyone knows whats up with P72 mi canvas fundamental research team? Got a interview and was wondering about the exit op and career progression about the role (can u get a HF seat?)

Has anyone heard back and received the case study? Did previous year's applications include three 250-word essays? I was unable to move on to the case studies round for the Future of Finance Accelerator program, despite at an Ivy target with 3.9.

I am currently working full time as an assistant relationship manager in commercial banking at a global bank and applied for the Point72 Academy for Experienced Professionals. Worth mentioning that I interned at Point72 last summer (not in the L/S team; in an Investment Services team), and I knew...

I am curious to know what is the average age of people in Point72's Experienced Professionals Investment Analyst program. I am currently a VP in IB (BB). Thanks

Hi friends, haven't seen a thread about the Point72 Academy recently, so figured I would start one. I applied for the experienced academy a few days ago and received a case study today. Very odd to me as I've never received a case study before even having an HR screen. Anyway, do we have any idea of...

Guys - does anyone know what I should be expecting? I heard the modelling test (pre-interviews) should be a 'simple' 3-statment model, but any more details on that? Is it in Excel? Is it online? What does it consist of? Thanks a lot!

Interviewing for the Sector Insights Analyst position in NYC. Any tips on first and second round prep? Need help asap. Thanks!

Can everyone who submitted a case study for the future of finance accelerator update here if anyone hears back?

Hey, has anyone heard back yet from applying?

Applied to P72 FRG internship mid Aug this year. Received Hirevue and Criteria test earlier today. Second-year at target non-math/cs/stat major. Anyone have details? Role is obviously not geared towards quant but would love to know about interview questions/timeline in advance if anyone else did...

Anyone know how often you can apply to the Academy? They say they have 3 intakes a year, I got until the case stage but didn't get through. Was wondering if I could reapply. Thanks

Basically title, wondering how Point72 or other MMHFs place for b-schools, with longer-term goal in mind of joining a big LO fund afterwards.

Recently got advanced after speaking to the Academy Coach. My next 2 interviews are scheduled with investment professional development and Launchpoint. Does anyone know what the process will be like from this stage and what kind of questions I should expect? Thanks!

Basically title - after a summer at a top MM, anecdotally, what type of places have you seen people go? Do a lot of people recruit FT for a SM or potentially MFPE? Or do people mainly stay on FT and climb the ladder? Any insights are helpful, cheers.

I received an invite to complete a questionnaire. I'm wondering if this is a standard part of the application process for all applicants. Have any other applicants here received a similar invitation?

Hi everyone, I have an upcoming model test with Point72. I actually have some information on the test from a few years ago from a buddy but I'm really curious if the test has been changed at all since then or if it is similar to the old test (so that I know what to spend time practicing). I would...

I'm a student at a target with exploding offers at Citadel for their CAP summer associate program and at a top EB for summer 2024. I was initially interested in long-term value investing, and wanted to exit from EB to PE, then to HF, but this program seems interesting. It was surprisingly easy to...

Refreshing this topic and currently deciding between top offers for banking vs. these training programs. Can anyone provide insight for which one is the best place to start a career.

Hi all, I'm joining a BB bank and I am wondering which industry team is best to exit as a L/S Analyst at a Multi-Manager HF afterwards?

I was wondering if anyone has any experience with them for an experienced analyst hire? Did the case study/debrief, met with 2 other PMs and the other analysts, and met with someone from management. It has been over a week since meeting with that person. It could be possible I got dinged, or they...

For people who've made it past the resume shortlisting phase and have been sent the online questionnaire, any idea what rough word limits we should adhere to for the questions where there are no prescribed word limits? For context, there are 4 questions and 1 of them, specifies a 100-word limit, the...

As someone who is pursuing IB but was always interested in the possibility founds on the buy-side, mainly PE and HF, was curious if the monkeys in the HF could give me some insight into Point72 from an insider's POV. I really like the idea of the academy and then working in small pods in the firm...

Hey all, Anyone here applied to the P72 experienced academy, and got past the case study round? Did the case study as well, but didn't get through, and curious to see how those who did tackled the project. Happy to DM if you prefer to communicate privately, cheers in advance.

In a week, I'm about to do a 7d case study on a publicly traded stock with a buy, hold, sell decision. Those who went thru same - how does the task look like? What do people expect? What are the next steps after the case study?

Is this a section to allow us to explain a little bit more about ourselves and provide a few of our prouder accomplishments, or is this literally there for logistics? It says "This is not a required field. If there are particular details, such as logistical considerations or competing offer...

Hi WSO, I have a tough decision to make and would be beyond grateful for your advice. I have SA 2023 offers for a top multi-manager HF (Citadel, Point72, etc) and a top BB investment bank (GS/MS/JPM). My end goal is to work in public markets investing. This is my passion and I am certain. The only...

Hi everybody, next week I will have the first-round interview for the P72 Academy Summer Internship. Has anyone already done it? Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

I applied for the Academy for 2022, and got my first case which is due on the 6th of May. Has anyone already gone through this part of the process and has information on what comes next after that? As well as timelines. Thanks to anyone who will help!

Anyone have any examples of firm-wide MMF analyst base scales getting raised across any large pod shops this year (because of inflation)? I'm talking about firm-wide level base bumps for experienced senior analysts, not 1-off "generous" PMs. The big MMFs have somehow maintained their similar...

Has anyone received an offer from Point72 for their Upcoming Graduates Academy (Sept/Oct applications)?

I've been looking at P72 employment data on LinkedIn and noticed that many analysts decide to leave after only 1-2 years working at the firm. Not sure if that's normal in the HF industry or not, but does anyone know why this is the case whether it is an industry-wide problem or specific to P72? Am I...

Hey all, I have an interview with P72 for an analyst role (2 years of IB experience in the same sector). Curious as to what I should expect? Not through an external recruiter, had one of their BD people reach out to schedule a call with a PM. Any advice / guidance would be much appreciated. For...

Did anyone hear back from P72's 2022 Academy SA yet? Did the first two rounds and not sure how the timeline runs.

Figured many people are on the same boat, so wanted to start a thread. Has anyone received the HireVue yet?

Hi everyone, I am very new here since my background is more tech/science-oriented. I am a STEM major at an ivy league school, and am primarily recruiting for AI/data science roles. Recently, I got invited to the internship launch call for Market Intelligence Point72. I found there is not much info...

Would someone with actual work experience at a MM platform (Millennium/Citadel/P72/BAM or similar) be kind enough to offer a high-level overview of common techniques that are used to contain (a) portfolio volatility and (b) draw downs, to the platform's required parameters for a pod? I am thinking...

Does anyone know what the typical passing scores are for the Wonderlic for the big multi manager hedge funds? I know online it says 29 is average for an investment analyst but I would have to think the big funds would have high strict cut offs. For example, would somewhere around a 40 be considered...

Thought I would start this thread since applications are already open. Does anyone know if they are following the US recruiting timeline?

Did anyone do the first round online interview? How was it? Is it mostly behavioral or technical questions?

Hello everyone, Just trying to get a feel for Point 72's Academy 2019 recruitment process. I submitted my resume and got Hirevue a day later. After completing the Hirevue I was then invited to an "exclusive summer networking night" at Point 72's office in NYC . The invitation said the event will...

Hello there - what is the fundamental difference between Bridgewater, AQR and Point72 besides the AUM? I am more interested in how these 3 funds are fundamentally different and how a potential investor decides to invest in, let's say, Bridgewater vs AQR vs Point72. Thanks!

Cohen Private Ventures (CPV) is the private investment arm of Point72 (new SAC Capital ) that invests in a variety of private markets. couple Q's: - any idea if this is totally secluded from the broader P72 firm or integrated? (i.e., are you really part of P72 or is this run in it's own building...

Hi All, As a bit of background I am applying for the London Academy role. I am aware there have been posts on the topic in the past but I haven't found one with even a short description of the superday's structure. Wondering if anyone can share their experience on the structure, be it for the SA or...

I applied for the Aperio internship and received an email to take an assessment that's supposed to take about 20 minutes to complete. I'm a CS student and the role is for their Aperio team (data science/machine learning). Any idea what I should expect? I'm not familiar with this process – any...
