Analyst Program
The JMIS Analyst Program aims to offer select students the opportunity to go beyond their finance classes and apply their knowledge to investment opportunities with support from Associates. Students with no prior experience may apply as Analysts and those wishing to gain further experience may apply as Senior Analysts.
The program has been in place for multiple years and has led to students entering school investment programs and capital markets positions.
