A Career with Point72’s Fundamental Equities Business
Fundamental Equities is Point72’s largest and longest-tenured investing business. For more than 30 years, we have equipped our analysts and portfolio managers with the resources, autonomy, and support we believe they need to build exceptional careers that reflect their unique strengths as investors.
We maintain a high bar for hiring and make a deep, long-term investment in our talent—the tenure of our people reflects our focus on understanding and underwriting process, not just looking at yesterday’s PnL.
Steve Cohen started this firm as an equities investor and has maintained a lifelong commitment to helping the best in our industry get even better. We have a strong track record of identifying, supporting, and advancing our homegrown talent—as of this posting, more than half of the PMs launched through our emerging manager program, Point72 LaunchPoint, were previously analysts at our firm. This commitment is further reinforced through dedicated coaching and development programs designed to help accelerate growth at every phase of an analyst’s career.
For people with the passion and drive to become truly great equities investors, Point72 offers an environment unlike any other.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
