Our Process
At Pathway Investments Fund, we seek dedicated and ambitious students who share our passion for finance and investing. Our application process is designed to assess candidates holistically, ensuring that each applicant is evaluated not just on technical knowledge but also on their enthusiasm, commitment, and ability to think critically about financial markets.
We understand that experience levels vary, which is why we prioritize a candidate’s willingness to learn and grow within our organization. While prior investment knowledge is valuable, we place equal emphasis on curiosity, analytical thinking, and the ability to collaborate within a team-driven environment. Strong applicants demonstrate a deep interest in finance, a proactive approach to problem-solving, and a commitment to upholding the high standards of our fund.
Our selection process includes a resume drop and a written application, followed by an interview designed to assess both technical and qualitative skills. We encourage applicants to showcase their unique perspectives, experiences, and motivations for joining Pathway Investments Fund. Above all, we are looking for individuals who are eager to contribute, develop their expertise, and help shape the future of our student-run investment fund.
