Managers
Description
The Management Program is for outstanding MII members who would like to gain operational and leadership experience. The management team is responsible for the management of both the organization and portfolio. Managers co-head one of four specific aspects of the club: social development, membership development, content generation, and the portfolio. The President and Managers have voting rights on long and short investment presentations.
President – Leads management team, develops strategy and coordination for the club
Portfolio Manager – Research, analyze, and vote on potential positions
Application Process
Managers are elected for annual terms based on an investment memo, prior involvement, and discussions. Elections are typically held in December. Candidates submit an investment long/short memo and a report of detailing ideas for the Institute. Approximately one month before the election, an email will be sent to the mailing list with election details and dates. The current managers who are not running elect candidates.
Expectations
Managers are expected to attend all General Body Meetings, perform their assigned duties, and actively lead their operational teams. Managers are expected to conduct their own due diligence before voting on long or short investment opportunities. Managers serve as mentors to Analysts and Associates.
Associates
Description
The Associate Program is for outstanding Analysts who demonstrate their ability to lead a team. An Associate leads a team of 4-5 Analysts, and is responsible for delivering the group's projects to management. Associates are also involved in management operational teams to oversee one of the four aspects of the club. Associates gain valuable, hands on management experience, and many choose to apply for positions in Management.
Application Process
The selection process for Associates is comprehensive, and involves an investment long/short memo, a resume drop, and a 3-on-1 interview.
Expectations
Each Associate group is assigned specific projects during the semester. Associates are responsible for coordinating and delivering their groups' work. The most effective Associates can delegate well and and bring the best out of their team.
Associates must attend 75% of all General Body Meetings. Each associate serves a semester-long term. Incumbent associates need not submit an additional memo or create an additional presentation for reelection; however, they must have demonstrated commitment to the program to remain associates.
Analysts
Description
Entry-level members of MII are Analysts. Each Analyst is placed into an Associate group, to work as a team for the semester. Additionally, some individual work will be expected of Analysts, which will be covered in meetings.
Expectations
Analysts report to Associates, and are expected to produce high quality analysis in their group's projects. Analysts must attend 50% of all General Body Meetings. We expect Analysts promoted from our Probationary Analyst program to demonstrate similar levels of knowledge and effort with our Analyst program.
Application Process
Unless an exception is granted by MII's Management Team, Probationary Analysts are promoted to Analysts after their first semester with the organization.
Probationary Analysts
Description
Members in their first semester with MII are placed in the Probationary Analyst program. Each Probationary Analyst class works together through a rigorous introduction to investment analysis and financial modeling, with personal guidance and leadership from the MII Management Team
Expectations
Probationary Analysts report directly to the MII Management Team. Probationary Analysts are expected to complete weekly assignments and attend MII's General Body Meetings. We expect our Probationary Analysts to be curious and driven to both learn and contribute. No background knowledge is required to be a Probationary Analyst, and the most important expectation is an enthusiasm for learning and doing.
Application Process
The selection process for Probationary Analysts occurs at the beginning of each fall semester. We look for driven and intelligent candidates with a propensity and willingness to learn; no prior investment experience is required. Application materials include a basic long/short memo, resume, and interview with the current MII Management Team.
