Foundations.
Eight weeks online. Paired with an analyst, quantitative researcher, or trader at the firm. The entry program.
The work
Each student takes an investment question forward with the supervisor. The supervisor frames the question and reviews the work; the student does the writing and the modeling. The work follows the conventions of the firm's own research.
By the end of the eight weeks, the student has produced a written case and the model behind it.
Who it is for
Advanced secondary students with quantitative aptitude and an interest in markets. Familiarity with statistics is helpful; programming experience in Python is useful but not required.
Supervisor
An analyst, quantitative researcher, or trader at the firm. Each student is matched to a supervisor whose area of work fits the student's question.
Application
Foundations is admitted by written submission and a thirty-minute conversation with a supervisor. The submission is a five-hundred-word response to a published prompt. Test scores are read; letters of recommendation are not considered.
