Founded in 2014, AMG was originally named “The Hedge Fund Club”, and later became "The Asset Management Group" in 2015. Today we honor the founders' initial intention of the organization, which was to give students of all backgrounds the opportunity to obtain and refine the knowledge and skills needed to earn jobs and internships on Wall Street, in the financial markets, consulting, research, etc., and to excel in those jobs. Dr. Jason Lunn oversees our organization today.
