investment management group
THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO - BOOTH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS
At Booth, we focus on training the investment professionals of tomorrow to tackle the challenges of a dynamic industry. We understand the headwinds facing our industry and strive to stay ahead of the curve.
IMG members take part in a stock pitch bootcamp, valuation seminars, pitch competitions and year-long mentorship. We engage internal and external resources to prepare our members in all aspects of the industry, from security analysis to relationship management.
Booth alumni are present in every major part of the investment management industry, across sectors and geographies. Whether it's Tokyo, London, New York or Los Angeles, if the markets are open, a Booth alumni is there.
IMG members have a unique insight into markets: we are informed by our fundamental and quantitative research yet, stand on the shoulders of finance giants and are able to see further, with a broader focus and with a better perspective than the rest.
