Life, they say – is all about taking risk. If you don’t take such risk, then, you lose a chance.
But, in Finance, one takes such risk via hedging its investments in order to reduce any substantial losses or gains (yet to occur, future).
Having worked with an investment company in Shanghai helped me learn through rigorous training program covering pure arbitrage, value investing, and statistical arbitrage across multiple asset classes. Also, encouraged me to make significant contributions at all stages in the investment process, including sourcing, researching and modeling sophisticated investments, build and apply expertise in both fundamental and quantitative analysis and research to find new investment strategies.
It was very exciting interning in China and will recommend friends to the program.
