This track is designed for students that want to go into investment banking or investment management. Investment banking helps companies and governments issue securities and helps investors purchase securities, manage financial assets, trade securities, and provide financial advice. Investment management looks behind the numbers and analyzes market trends. Investment managers hold stocks and bonds for institutional clients and are on the buy-side of Wall Street. Some investment managers use the latest sophisticated quantitative techniques while others do very well using simple intuition. Both investment banking and investment management are highly quantitative, but the importance of the ability to communicate effectively cannot be understated.
