Manager Development
The Manager Development Program (MDP) is designed to assist start-up and early-stage money managers make the transition from proprietary trader to institutional money manager.
The MDP, with our institutional sponsors, presents a unique opportunity for emerging managers seeking to establish institutional credibility to achieve the critical mass required for sustained profitability.
The program includes the cultivation of key contacts with asset consultants and investment managers, developing marketing strategies, and offering advice on product development, positioning and administration.
We do not expect candidates to have documented and creditable business plans or to provide evidence of strong business and management leadership; the program is specifically designed to complement the candidates' strengths in money management with FXWW's business support services.
We believe that it is most important for the key people engaged in the investment decisions to focus their time and energy on the investment process.
