Sydney unis placing most Australia-trained asset managers
Sydney-based universities have the strongest tradition in Australia of producing portfolio managers and analysts, with alumni links behind many of the global job placements, according to a report.
Graduates of the University of New South Wales, the University of Sydney and Macquarie University were most likely to score jobs in the investment asset management field, eVestment's annual education report showed.
Last year, the University of New South Wales produced 97 portfolio managers and analysts, while Sydney and Macquarie produced 84 and 68 respectively.
From the top two Sydney universities, graduates' most likely employers were Colonial First State Global Asset Management and Perennial Investment Partners Limited, the report said.
Melbourne's the University of Melbourne and Monash University took the fourth and fifth place on the list, with graduates from the former most likely to end up at
Aviva Investors North America, Inc. and the latter, Blackrock after graduation.
The University of Technology in Sydney, The University of Queensland, Australian National University, the University of Western Australia and the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology rounded out the top 10 rankings for investment asset management placements, the report showed.
