What college is good for Hedge Fund Manager?


I need to know what are good for a hedge fund manager and where. Thanks

MBA from Columbia, Harvard, MIT, University of Chicago, or University of Pennsylvania. (3 years)

Work you way through a top investment firm (e.g. Morgan Stanley, Goldman Sachs, etc.) (5 years)

Build a reputation and track record (4 years)

Raise at least $100 million to start your hedge fund.

Some place with a Masters program in Financial Engineering, Computational Finance or Financial Mathematics.

Many Hedge Fund managers don't go have MBA's. The managers themselves say MBAs are relatively unimportant and what college you go to isn't as important as your record. So focus on getting the best education you can get -not the most prestigious education.
