WAM is a course and summer internship program that launched in May of 2022, for second year undergraduate students at any Canadian University who self-identify as women and are interested in learning more about asset management.

The program includes a four-week classroom experience followed by a 10–12-week paid internship at a Canadian asset management firm (banks, pension funds, hedge funds, etc.). We are happy to be growing the program and accepting a select number of students from any Canadian university.
