Question: Out of curiosity, what teams do you guys have that have portfolio managers? Like TMT, etc? - Anonymous

⭕ We have updated our team structure such that all Advanced Members are part of one team, with smaller pods focusing on specific areas of mutual interest (e.g., you could form a TMT portfolio and lead it as a PM).

⭕ Our Advanced Team is similar to a graduate-level seminar, where each of us shares our areas of interest/expertise, and everyone is expected to contribute towards the meetings (it's ok if you don't know about finance, as you can share a technical skill or journal/news article, etc.). 

⭕ Our Advanced Team is intentionally highly selective such that we are very small (especially in the spring), and therefore are able to be highly collaborative, supportive, and agile.
