Notre Dame Profiles Citisoft's Eric Dyer
The life of a consultant can be hectic, but our own Eric Dyer raises the bar by balancing work with an immersive Masters of Science in Finance (MSF) program at Notre Dame. Dyer holds an undergraduate degree in accounting, an MBA with a finance concentration and a certificate in project management (PMP). Even with these credentials, he wanted an advanced degree in finance to help him reach his career goal of specializing in front office investment decisions. "In the front office you work with folks who are gauging and measuring investment risk. You work with the portfolio managers, who are making the investment decisions—what do we buy, what do we sell, how do we do it?" Dyer explains.
"The MSF is giving me a deep level of understanding of these topics—how to calculate investment risk, how to value securities, how securities behave in the marketplace, how to use securities for different investment actions like hedging."
