We’re excited to release a new episode of our podcast, Becoming a Hedge Fund Analyst: Inside Stellar Chain Capital Academy.

In this episode, we explore how a background in science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) can provide a powerful foundation for a successful investing career.

Three of our analysts join Ariel Herman, our Long/Short Analyst Engagement Director (PhD in biochemistry and molecular biophysics), to discuss how the Stellar Chain Capital Academy prepared them to transition from STEM fields to the hedge fund industry.

They share how forming hypotheses, designing experiments, analyzing complex data, and drawing meaningful conclusions translate directly into building investment theses and analyzing market trends.
