AmplifyME Launches Groundbreaking Investment Banking Pathway to Transform Entry into the Financial Industry

AmplifyME, the world’s leading provider of simulation-based experiences in finance, announces today the launch of its innovative Investment Banking Pathway, signalling a major stride in reshaping entry into the financial industry for graduates.

The launch of the AmplifyME Investment Banking Pathway will see students from over 400 campuses across the world take part in a real-world, two-hour M&A simulation, where they will work through the key responsibilities of a Junior Analyst, from financial modelling through to valuation analysis. Top performers will be invited to AmplifyME’s flagship Investment Bank Academy, a four-hour, team-based IPO experience. Outstanding participants from the academy will then be referred to select investment banking partners for recruitment opportunities.

This groundbreaking pathway is free-of-charge, open-access, and follows the success of AmplifyME’s Sales & Trading Pathway, which was delivered in partnership with Morgan Stanley. This pathway saw 40% of Morgan Stanley’s EMEA Sales & Trading interns in 2023 come from AmplifyME-trained candidates.

Through this innovative approach of providing free, live and realistic experiences across a vast number of education providers, AmplifyME has levelled the playing field for the industry, ensuring that candidates are assessed on their abilities alone, irrespective of any other characteristics.

Further, AmplifyME’s pathways serve as educational gateways. To date, over 120,000 candidates have taken part in AmplifyME’s open-access simulations, offering participants practical exposure to the financial industry and unveiling enticing career paths within the sector.
