We’re excited to have released a new episode of our podcast, Becoming a Hedge Fund Analyst: Inside Point72 Academy.

In this episode, we explore how a background in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics can create a strong foundation for a successful investing career.

Three of our analysts join Ariel Herman, our Long/Short Analyst Engagement Director with a PhD in biochemistry and molecular biophysics, to discuss how the Point72 Academy prepared them to make the transition from STEM fields to the hedge fund industry.

They share how forming hypotheses, designing experiments, analyzing complex data, and drawing meaningful conclusions directly translate to building investment theses and analyzing market trends.
