MBAs still waiting for lift-off among banks and fund houses

The qualification is more popular at hedge funds and private equity compared with banks and asset managers, but this could be about to change

The investment banking, trading and asset management communities have not traditionally put a lot of value on MBA qualifications.

Those in European asset management and investment banking holding MBAs stand at 11% and 12% respectively, according to benchmarking website Emolument.com's database. This is well below the private equity (20%) and venture capital (34%) sectors.
