The Long-Short is a podcast by the Alternative Investment Management Association, focusing on the very latest insights on the alternative investment industry.

Each episode will examine topical areas of interest from across the alternative investment universe with news, views and analysis delivered by AIMA’s global team, as well as a host of industry experts.

Ten years ago, Point72 launched a bold initiative to reimagine talent development in the hedge fund world. The result? The Point72 Academy—a programme that’s transformed how buy-side firms find, train, and support future investment professionals.

In this episode, Jaimi Goodfriend shares the Academy’s origin story, how it balances theory with hands-on learning, and what makes its approach unique in a landscape dominated by MBAs, CFAs, and traditional bank pipelines.
