<p>How do u become an investment manager for a fund?</p>
<p>A mutual fund? Or are you talking about a managing director for an ibanking company? Mutual funds I'm not too sure about, but I know you have to be excellent at trading and taking risks as you are responsible for a numerous amount of portfolios. I'm sure it has to do certain steps such as becoming a trader or salesman, and if you are lucky and good you may be given the chance.</p>
<p>For ibanking it's a series of steps. You become an analyst after undergraduate school, then you complete graduate school, and if you are lucky you'll get a chance to become an associate. If you survive that long you may have the opportunity at a vice president/senior vice president position, and if you haven't died yet you'll have a small chance at becoming a managing director.</p>
<p>Im talking about mutual funds.</p>
<p>Join an investment management company (mutual fund) as an analyst/associate and rise up through the ranks. There are also external hires made if someone has a good track record for example.</p>
<p>Is it hard to get a job right after graduating at an investment management company?</p>
<p>from where?</p>
<p>Im goin to Texas.</p>
<p>I thought you were gonna go to IU.</p>
<p>Me too....plans have changed, for the better I believe.</p>
<p>hahahaha. they are both good schools.</p>
<p>Ya I know, Im not dumb, this thread isnt about schools though.</p>
<p>Getting a job as a manager, yes. Getting a job in a particular firm, not really if you go to a good school.</p>
<p>This is what Im gonna try to do. Forget ibanking.</p>
<p>you realize starting out, pay is between 30-50k, usually in the middle. Otherwise getting a job at a large fund is quite easy from any college. Most with good business programs have several hiring students. See who hires from texas and look at the hiring positions, their leadership programs, rotational, six sigma etc etc</p>
<p>Who are the large funds anyways? I have no idea. Can u give me a list of some southpasdena?</p>
<p>Fidelity, Vanguard, Reynolds, Morgan Stanely, and Columbia Marsico are some of the big ones.</p>
