2025 Point72 Future of Finance Accelerator - US

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 was created 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.

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 here at Point72.
• Sharpen Your Skills: Apply the skills you learn in the virtual classroom to a case assignment and discuss your work with a Point72 Academy Coach. You will be expected to produce several iterations of a project and present your position, incorporating feedback given along the way.
• Meet with a Mentor: A Point72 mentor will help you understand what it’s like and what it takes to earn your seat at our Firm.
• Expand Your Network: You will work with fellow students interested in finance throughout the program and broaden your network to meet students from schools across North America.

Who we’re looking for:
• We welcome applicants from all fields of study. No previous finance experience is necessary, however, interest in analyzing companies and looking at stocks is recommended given the project-based nature of this program.
• Selected participants will be eligible to be considered for a 2026 summer internship, if interested.
• Participants of this program are not eligible to participate in the 2024 Case Competition. Students may only apply for either the case competition with a team OR the 2025 Future of Finance Accelerator, not both.
• There will be other opportunities for students graduating between December 2025 – July 2026 released in Q1 2025.
• We are looking for students who possess adaptability, cultural fluency, resilience, and life experiences that can contribute to the firm's diverse perspectives.

We want you to apply if you are:
• Currently a student at an accredited university in the United States or Canada and graduating in Winter 2026 or Spring 2027.
• Fascinated by research and problem-solving, relentlessly curious, and constantly expanding your horizons.
• Committed to continued success in your academic and professional career with the highest levels of professionalism, integrity, ethics, and excellence.
• Highly self-driven and motivated to explore a career in finance.
• Please note series programming will be conducted in ET and all sessions are mandatory. The full calendar will be shared with selected participants.

Timing:
• Submit your application by Sunday, November 17th at 11:59pm ET.
• Following a brief assessment period, we will select participants by December 18.
• If selected, we ask you to confirm your participation by December 22.
• The program will run virtually in January 2025 with sessions scheduled in ET.

Please note that any use of GenAI is strictly prohibited when completing this application.

Race & Ethnicity Definitions

If you believe you belong to any of the categories of protected veterans listed below, please indicate by making the appropriate selection. As a government contractor subject to the Vietnam Era Veterans Readjustment Assistance Act (VEVRAA), we request this information in order to measure the effectiveness of the outreach and positive recruitment efforts we undertake pursuant to VEVRAA. Classification of protected categories is as follows:

A "disabled veteran" is one of the following: a veteran of the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service who is entitled to compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs; or a person who was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

An "active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran" means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized under the laws administered by the Department of Defense.

An "Armed forces service medal veteran" means a veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
