Ever wondered what it actually takes to succeed in investment management? Whether markets are too data-driven for individuals to make an impact? Or whether you even need a finance degree to get your foot in the door?

In this episode, we put your questions — submitted by students just like you — to three experienced investment professionals:

• Rick Eling, Managing Director at MKC Invest
• Ellen van den Broek, Managing Director at Aurorae
• Natasha Braginsky Mounier, GAIN Trustee

Together they tackle the questions that come up again and again: how great investors still find an edge in today's data-driven markets, how to spot long-term opportunities when everything feels volatile, whether you need to be based in London, whether your non-STEM degree is a barrier — and what to do when you start your first role and feel completely out of your depth (spoiler: everyone does).

Honest, practical, and genuinely reassuring — this one is essential listening if you're starting to think about a career in investment management.
