career preparation and talent development

Our primary mission is to prepare members to be leaders in a variety of financial careers. Besides engaging in weekly lectures and workshops, we also provide resume building directly facilitated by the executive board, networking opportunities with industry leaders, and training for job interviews such as brainteasers and interview questions.

unique networking and professional opportunities

Members are not only introduced to industry professionals, but also provided exclusive opportunities to join summer programs, internships, and jobs. Analysts are prepared for these experiences through our capstone project, which involves building and backtesting an algorithmic trading strategy and presenting it to the club. We hope these experiences allow Maroon Capital members to form long lasting social connections with their peers.

our unique curriculum

Newly enrolled analysts begin with one quarter of introductory education ranging topics such as statistics, asset classes, and financial accounting. In the second quarter, analysts dive into more advanced quantitative methods in finance, including trading strategies, options and derivatives, statistical theory, and programming for finance. Members are also given the opportunity to participate in interactive workshops from our executive board, and begin their capstone project, which involves designing and coding a trading strategy.

To finish off the year, analysts have the chance to interact with industry professionals through guest lectures, and learn about more specialized topics such as options theory and market making. With a fast and hands-on approach to projects and assignments, MC’s members learn about key financial concepts and gain the unique experience and training required for future financial careers.
