Student testimonials

Roberto Lato, KWPMP Class of 2024

"During my summer in Victoria at BCI, I was extremely fortunate to have been able to produce two investment recommendation reports with the help of Sanjeet Dhari and Shane Leech-Porter.

Presenting my findings and having my analysis challenged by the Global Thematic team and senior management allowed me to become a better research analyst and opened my mind to the efficiencies of thematic investing.” – Roberto Lato (Class of 2024)

This invaluable experience has not only honed my expertise in equity research but also deepened my appreciation for the complexities of small-cap investing." – Nicholas Cormier (Class of 2024)
