"I owe so much to the PMP: I found my best friend there, who's now also my colleague, it kick-started my career as an Asset Manager, it showed me what I want do in life and fostered my passion for it, taught me incredibly much, quality and quantity wise and it  gave me a deeper feeling of belonging and identification. Already as a student, I could say "I am a portfolio manager in the PMP". That you don't get elsewhere"

— Daniel Kotas, alumnus Macro Team Year 11 (2022)

"The Portfolio Management Program was definitely the highlight of my Master’s degree at the University of Zurich. It gives participants the unique opportunity to gain valuable knowledge in managing a portfolio in a real-life setting. During the two years, it takes a big commitment to work in a team intensively and to go the extra mile. However, you will be rewarded with being part of the unique PMP alumni network, which extremely helps for a career in finance."

— Flurin Jurt, alumnus Behavioral Finance Team Year 11 (2022)

“Before I became part of the PMP I would have never guessed how challenging yet how rewarding it is to manage more than a million EUR. I am not going to wax lyrical about how this program was an unforgettable part of my masters at UZH and how it got me to stay with my supervisor and do my PhD in the field of sustainable finance (yet I am). I am going to say that I now know how to react to news in financial markets with my own money and I can invest for myself since I know which risks I am exposed to.”

— Anna Vasileva, alumna Behavioral Finance Team Year 10 (2021)

“The Portfolio Management Program was the most exciting and instructive course during my Master studies in Banking and Finance. It gave me the opportunity to develop and implement investment strategies as part of a team. Not only does one learn how to apply the theoretical knowledge acquired at university, but one also gets the opportunity to deal intensively and profoundly with the subject of portfolio management.

The Portfolio Management Program is a unique experience and has greatly increased my interest in the topic. I can strongly recommend the program to anyone who has a keen interest in portfolio management and think that you will gain valuable experiences that are beneficial for your future job. ”
