Analyst Candidate Program
Weekly sessions hosted on a weekday evening for students already familiar with financial statements and investment analysis. Through the program, students hone and deepen their investment knowledge through weekly cases and investment research, preparing them for the reality of a buy-side investment analyst.
It is encouraged for students to complete the Fundamentals Program prior to applying to the Analyst Candidate Program. Those interested in the Investment Analyst positions for the fund are also strongly recommended to complete this program.
Details of the application will be released in September. The application will be available in the Applications tab. The Analyst Candidate Program runs from October to April.
Fundamentals Program
Not requiring any prior investing or finance knowledge, the Fundamentals Program is a perfect way for students who want to break into the buy-side to develop the basic skills required to succeed in the industry.
The program is designed as a fantastic opportunity for students interested in Asset Management to learn the basics and quickly ramp up to advanced concepts, investment due diligence, and valuations.
The Fundamentals Program is the best pathway into RCIF’s more advanced Analyst Candidate Program and into the fund as a Fund Analyst managing Rational’s portfolio of private capital.
