Wharton Investment Management Fund

The Investment Management Club, in conjunction with MBA Career Management, coordinates with investment management firms to offer Wharton MBA students numerous opportunities to learn from and interact with leaders in the investment management industry. These opportunities include, but are not limited to, the following IM Club activities:

o Investment Management Conference
o Speaker Series
o Regional Career Treks
o Student Club Partnerships (Fidelity Investment Competition)
o MBA Career Management Programs (industry panels, resume workshops and mock interviewing)
o Social Events

In addition to these activities, the Wharton Investment Management Fund acts as a key component of the Wharton Investment Management Club by enabling Wharton MBA students to gain hands-on experience in the investment management field through inter-active portfolio management. While the Wharton MBA community has a diverse collection of professional interests in the investment management industry (i.e. varying job settings and functional interests), the Fund continues to be the primary training ground for students interested in investment management and broader public market investing alike.

The most popular careers for MBA students involved with the Wharton Investment Management Fund include:
