Point72 Launches Future of Finance Accelerator in Asia Pacific

January 2025

Point72 has launched a Future of Finance Accelerator series in APAC, a program designed to expose undergraduate students from all backgrounds to the possibility of a career in investing. Applications are open now!


What is the Future of Finance Accelerator?
Our firm’s success depends on the unique and diverse viewpoints of our investment professionals.

The Future of Finance Accelerator series was created to increase awareness and access to a career in investing for students. Through this virtual, unpaid, multi-week immersion program, we aim to help inform, mentor and prepare participants on the fundamentals of our business and get a glimpse into the life of a Point72 Academy associate. In addition, the program will walk through a real-world project in which you’ll also receive feedback from one of our Academy management members.

We invest in our talent and believe in the importance of fostering an inclusive, collaborative environment where all our employees have the resources and mentorship to grow.

This year will be the first the series is available in APAC.

 

What will I learn during the program?
You’ll learn about the role of a Point72 investment analyst and how to critically evaluate stocks through a series of training sessions. You will also be able to hear about the different ways analysts have built and shaped their careers here at Point72.

You’ll be able to apply the skills you learn in the virtual classroom to a case assignment and discuss your work with a Point72 Academy coach. You will be expected to produce several iterations of a project and present your position, incorporating feedback given along the way. A Point72 mentor will work with you and help you understand what it takes to earn a seat at our firm.

You’ll also have the chance to work with fellow students interested in finance through the program and broaden your network to meet students from different schools.

 

What are you looking for in an applicant?
We are looking for students who possess adaptability, cultural fluency, resilience, and life experiences that can contribute to the firm’s diverse perspectives.

We welcome applicants from all fields of study. No previous finance experience is necessary, however, interest in analyzing companies and looking at stocks is recommended given the project-based nature of this program.

Selected participants will be eligible to be considered for a 2026 summer internship, if interested.
