Hi HKUST,
For students interested in working in investment management, how does the HKUST career office help them in landing summer internship / full time offer after graduation? Do investment management firms conduct on campus recruitment? Do you have a list of investment management firms that recruit HKUST MBA students after graduation?
Thank you in advance.
Hi excel86,
Our career office uses the 4C strategy to support our students' career pursuits.
1. Clarify students' career goals and provide professional advice on what network, skills and exposure they need to achieve their goals through individual career coaching
2. Develop students' capabilities by organizing industry sharing sessions, career clubs, executive meetings so that they will have more practical exposure in their chosen fields before looking for a job
3. Connect students with recruiters through company visits, recruitment talks and networking events. Refer job leads to students through our internal MBA job board
4. Convince recruiters to hire students by improving their job hunting skills through various workshops and trainings, e.g. financial modeling workshops, i-bank mock interviews
Usually, only the larger financial institutions, e.g. HSBC, Standard Chartered, ANZ, Citi, will have campus recruitment through recruitment talks. Jobs from smaller investment management firms will mostly be posted on our internal job board since these firms do not have regular hiring seasons.
In 2012, 13% of our graduates got recruited into investment management/ research roles. Here are some of the recent recruiters who have hired our graduates in this field.
Gingko Asset Management, CVC Capital Partners, CITIC Securities International, RCM Asia Pacific, Azure Partners, CCB Principal Asset Management , AXA Asia Pacific, Ariel Investments, JPMorgan Funds (Asia), HSBC, Golding Capital Partners, BEA Union Investment, etc.
If there is any further question, please let me know.
