Students interested in alternative investments can get a sense of AIS by reading the society's research and learning about its teams. AIS recruits at the start of each semester through a written application and interviews with each division. Places are limited: historically, between 1 and 4 percent of applicants receive an offer. Members and alumni have worked at or are incoming at firms including Blackstone, Morgan Stanley, EQT, Rothschild & Co, UBS, Bain & Company, Jefferies, Ardian and Hines.
