Does it have to be Chicago proper? A lot of the ETF shops are based in the western suburbs. ETFs are probably the best part of AM to be in right now. Overall, I'd say it's the fastest growing part of finance. (Outside of debt collection in the current circumstance, but you have to figure that you're significantly less likely to be shot at by an angry "customer" losing their car in ETFs)

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.

Most Helpful

Harris Associates - probably the best in Chicago. Would be very competitive to get a position, I think they hire from their undergrad intern pool.

Wells Capital Management - has at least one small team there, maybe more. They have a much larger team in WI if you're open to that.

Driehaus - don't think they hire undergrads

Calamos - don't know much about them

Segall Bryant Hamill -- this is a combo wealth and investment management firm. They have some investment good teams and have been growing nicely.

Any insight on Driehaus? Culture / hours / comp?

Distressed to Impress

Heard the culture is pretty cutthroat but Citadel is in Chicago and is very reputable too.
