How it Works
SEO has a long track-record of success in closing opportunity gaps in the alternatives space. The E&F Fellowship program will build on the suite of programs we have in place today, providing an opportunity to learn about investment concepts related to endowment management, exposure to Limited Partners, and personalized mentoring/coaching.
SEO Alternative Investments’ E&F Fellowship program will host a series of events designed to create awareness into the untapped industry, focusing on providing connections, resources, and networking opportunities with E&F institutions. Through our Fellowship, you’ll gain the understanding and preparation needed to successfully compete for E&F analyst/associate roles.
