I am wholly committed and dedicated to fulfilling my dream of becoming an investment banker.

I have a strong preference and interest in sales and trading, but have a general passion for all areas of investment banking business. To reach this goal, outstanding academic performance must be retained. I also believe it is crucial for me to maintain up-to-date knowledge of the financial markets.

Swiss Finance definitely met my expectations on the academic front. In college, I realized my passion for investing. After taking part in investment challenges and gaining hands-on experience, I was even more certain. Getting a glimpse into the industry made me eager to learn more. At Swiss Finance I was finally able to do this. The trading and investing modules were great. The instructors had real insight into the global financial situation. In the years that followed my summer at Swiss Finance, I appreciated this even more. Learning from an active macro-trader was instructive, not to mention a once in a life time experience. He would share his positions with the class and share his thought process behind his stances. It is so rare to get that kind of insight. Taking the program before my senior year of college was also beneficial in terms of career strategy, and maximizing future opportunities.
Regards,
Derek
