“The University of Liechtenstein features a unique platform for students to step into financial industry. After I left university, I have been working with Citi, an American investment bank, for 14 months now. I spent two months in London, that represents the major financial hub in EMEA and it provides the ideal platform to meet my fellows of the new analyst class. Now I'm working as an investment banker in a regional office in Zurich. Our team serves the biggest corporations and financial institutions in Switzerland and Liechtenstein. The University of Liechtenstein was the right choice. It's exotic and unique, two characteristics which are sought after in financial industry and can make the difference.”

„I very much enjoyed my time in Liechtenstein. The study programme prepared me well for my current job in Insurance-Linked Securities and Reinsurance, which is a very specialised field. I knew right from the start, that Asset Management was not my ultimate career path, and the personal interview with Prof. Menichetti convinced me even more to do this Master as aspects of quantitative finance were essential for working in the reinsurance industry. At AIR worldwide I liaise regularly with our head office in Boston, and work with Investors from Liechtenstein and Switzerland. This way I stay in touch with the people in Liechtenstein and its beautiful region.“
