In our industry, we are constantly looking for bright people who have rigorous quantitative training plus an understanding of how theories and conceptual tools can be applied to markets. The Yale finance faculty are at the forefront of research in asset valuation and market dynamics, and they maintain close relationships with investors, providing students of the Yale Master’s in Asset Management with exceptional instruction on both sides of that equation. By co-teaching many classes with practitioners, they strengthen the bridge between theory and practice—an ideal environment in which to start a career in asset management.
