Skills straight from Wall Street
Prequel's programs are not taught by traditional professors but by the people who live and breathe investing everyday. The program is taught by Cameron Ayotte, an investment portfolio manager. Our goal is to train students like first year analysts at Wall Street firms. Students develop marketable career skills like the ability to analyze investments across asset classes, research companies, synthesize recommendations, and deliver effective presentations.
An investor mindset for life
At Prequel, you are not just learning what investing is about, you are doing it firsthand, with real-world simulations and the tools that professionals in the industry use.
You will develop an investor mindset and a wider understanding of the business world, the economy, industries, and market trends. Developing these critical thinking skills so early in life will allow for greater opportunities in capturing investment and business opportunities.
Explore future career paths
You'll learn directly from a finance professional with experience in portfolio management, consulting, and asset management. You'll get exposed to what a potential career path in finance and business could look like, and you'll understand what you need to do now and in the next few years to prepare for a future in finance after high school.
Connecting directly with professionals and hearing about their career journeys can help you to decide if a career is right for you.
