There are a lot of opportunities to learn beyond the coursework. For instance I participated in the Rotman International Trading Competition (RITC). Professor Carlos Tolmasky, helped prepare us for the competition by sharing his rich oil trading experience from his years at Cargill. The MFM definitely helped me prepare for the valuation and pricing work I did at CME Group and the foundation I needed for work I am doing now at Point72 - researching pricing models and methodology, and providing accurate valuation for my firm's investments in derivatives, PE and Venture.
