From theory to practice At the end of the academic year, the applied research project or the internship offer students the opportunity to apply the theory gained in the courses and to further develop their interests and competencies in a chosen field of specialization. In their internship search, students are supported by all IUM faculty members and by the IUM Career Office, that provide them with information and guidance on the finance job market places and help them throughout the year to carefully prepare their applications in these competitive markets. Hedge Funds & Private Equity Anchored in the IUM teaching philosophy, most of the Hedge Funds and Private Equity courses combine the rigorous theoretical approach of IUM professors with the concrete views of Finance professionals . Courses like Real Estate Investing, Merger and Acquisitions or Venture Capital are mainly taught by finance top executives with a proven track records in their fields . Throughout the year, renowned finance experts from leading institutions as UBS, Man Investments, JP Morgan come at IUM to share their view on financial markets trends, forecasts or on the new investment opportunities. Hedge funds managers regularly come to IUM and present their specific strategies and models to students. They are also invited to evaluate the efficiency of strategies and models developed by students within some specific courses. 12 a unique learning & networking experience
Talal Bessa, MFIN 2009-2010, Junior Private Banker, Bank J. Safra “When we enroll, we all know that we’ll end up in a group of students with diverse educational and business backgrounds, but the richness of cultures, nationalities, and personal wealth in any given class is truly unique. In 2010, the five continents were represented in our class, students were coming from Colombia, Nigeria, China, the UK, Germany, Lithuania, Russia, Italy, Portugal, Canada, the US , the USA to name a few countries. We exchanged on our experiences and future strategies, our respective political and cultural background, and received valuable insight on one another’s field of expertise. Some people consider the small size of a university a handicap, I consider it a gift. When we study a technical field like finance, we sometimes need personal assistance and that is not possible in a class of 150 students. This Master of Finance at IUM is very challenging; so having highly knowledgeable professionals at our disposal was a gift. “ Quantitative Trading & Financial Engineering Equipped with the technical and programming skills necessary to implement financial models and strategies, students have to develop their own investment strategies and to manage them in “real markets” conditions. Students benefit also from practical and interactive presentations of successful hedge funds managers, that strengthen their knowledge on quantivative based trading techniques traditionally used by hedge funds – fixed income arbitrage, merger arbitrage, relative value and market neutral strategies and event driven strategies – and that expose them to the latest cutting edge and innovative approaches to trading. Students are invited to create usable tools and models providing practical and original solutions. Those models are implemented and tested within an investment or trading company. Despite the 2008 post-Lehman crisis and the downsizing of derivatives products’ teams, most of the IUM former students have successfully secured an internship then a job in equity derivatives, debt capital markets or in the quantitative hedge funds industry. Private Banking & Wealth Management Senior Private bankers or wealth management advisors have undoubtedly various backgrounds, profiles and various ways to develop and manage their portfolio of clients. This exclusive relationship with high end and “exceptional” clients means to combine a strong rigorous mindset with outstanding empathy skills that are not easily acquirable in a typical academic program. For this reason, this master program has a strong focus on practical experience thanks to the interaction and participation of senior private bankers and wealth managers. Invited to present their selling methodologies and investment approaches during courses, those professionals are also keen on fostering students soft skills and guiding them in their career choice. At the end of the academic year, the applied research project or the internship offer students the opportunity to apply the theory gained in courses and to further develop their interests and competencies in a chosen field of specialization. www.monaco.edu 13
