2026 Point72 Future of Finance Accelerator - APAC

The Future of Finance Accelerator Series is designed to expose undergraduate students from all backgrounds to the possibility of a career in investing.

Future of Finance Accelerator
Our firm’s success depends on the unique and diverse viewpoints of our investment professionals.

The Future of Finance Accelerator Series is designed to increase awareness and access to a career in investing for students. Through this virtual, unpaid, multi-week immersion, we aim to help inform, mentor, and prepare selected attendees for a career in investing. During the program, participants will learn about the fundamentals of our business and get a glimpse into the life of a Point72 Academy Associate through a real-world project on which you’ll also receive feedback from one of our Academy management members.

Our firm’s success depends on the unique and diverse viewpoints of our investment professionals, and our people are the firm’s most valuable asset. We are a group of talented problem-solvers who view challenges as opportunities. We invest in our talent and believe in the importance of fostering an inclusive, collaborative environment where all our employees have the resources and mentorship to grow.

During the Accelerator Series you will:

• Learn the Business: Learn more about the role of a Point72 Investment Analyst and how to critically evaluate stocks through a series of training sessions. You will be able to hear about the different ways analysts have shaped their careers at Point72.
