With the summer approaching, we’re looking forward to welcoming the newest class of Point72 Academy Interns across our offices worldwide. The eight-week internship–where participants receive training in accounting, modeling, and stock pitching (among other topics) as well as spend time on an investment team–can lead to a seat in the full-time Point72 Academy Associate program, which since 2015 has placed more than 170 long/short analysts onto our platform.
Recently, Pensions and Investments spoke with Jaimi Goodfriend, Head of Investment Professional Development and Point72 Academy Director, to learn more about the Academy Investment Analyst Summer Internship program and the evolving hedge fund talent landscape. Jaimi shared insights on how the program has grown and what we look for in candidates.
“We really want to hear about people and who they are authentically. [The goal is to] educate young aspiring investors to see if they want to join this business…We have to think about the analyst of tomorrow and what that means.” – Jaimi Goodfriend
