Roadmap to Become a Fund Manager

Mr. Aditya Ahluwalia sharing his career path and giving a sneak preview of the program

Postgraduate Diploma in Investment Management - HKU SPACE: Finance and Investment courses

This is not just any information seminar that happens randomly at 730pm.  The event overran by 30minutes and still no one want to leave the room; at the end, it was the guest speaker who had to leave before all participants as he had to return to his office.

Aditya, one of our tutors for PgDip in Investment Management & CFA, shared his life journey with a group of prospective students.  He shared his story from getting his Bachelor and MBA degrees to why he was doing all the recognizable examinations; and finally promoted from a research analyst to a fund manager. The seminar did not finish there, as Aditya also gave a taster on Utility Function to his prospective students.  Extra time was requested by the group to the programme leader to complete the mini lecture.  By the time programme leader shut the light, it was already 9pm.   

The school would like to thank Mr. Aditya Ahluwalia for his wonderful presentation, commitment and professionalism.
