The result? The Point72 Academy—a programme that’s transformed how buy-side firms find, train, and support future investment professionals. In this episode, Jaimi Goodfriend shares the Academy’s origin story, how it balances theory with hands-on learning, and what makes its approach unique in a landscape dominated by MBAs, CFAs, and traditional bank pipelines.
