Alumni

The Fund @ Sprott has an alumni network of over 30 past members – a number growing by 5-10 per year. We are very proud to have many of our members go on to start very promising careers in the world of finance and as the network grows we will continue to find new ways to keep past members interacting with current members on a regular basis. Connections made with alumni throughout the year and at events such as our ‘Annual Alumni Dinner’ are some of the best networking opportunities available to Sprott Students.

The Alumni Mentor Program

Starting in the 2011-2012 academic year we are beginning to pair our student analyst teams up with former Fund Alumni in order to create an additional resource for our the students. Mentors are there to help the students on a variety of levels, ranging from firm-specific analysis to advice on how to land a job in the industry upon graduation. The Mentors do this in their free time and we are appreciative to the following alumni for helping out on this initiative:
