Questions?

Page 46: Industry Chat: Investment Management...Discovery Capital Management . Elliott Advisors . Elliott Management Corporation . Knighthead Capital Management . Latimer Light Capital : Limiar

Advice from the successful 2nd years

• PREPARE, and PREPARE EARLY! There is SO much that can be done before process kicks off

• Know thyself, reach out early to companies of interest and narrow down targets over time. Remain flexible but focused on interests. Think strategically – select opportunities that make sense both short and long term

• Start working on pitches early and practice

• Network inside and outside Wharton OCR

• Have focused story and be able to clearly articulate how it fits in with firm X

• Take a targeted approach so you don’t overextend yourself

• Cast a wide net – go on all office visits – talk to as many alumni as possible

• Be persistent and prepare multiple stock/credit pitches
