Smart Money.

Uphill battle…Want a job at a hedge fund, bulge-bracket investment bank or private equity firm?

Why?

What’s the big deal?

Why IB, PE & HF?The Rewards:

The epitome of career options within the Finance field

Rewarding and challenging work environment, with high compensation

Very high profile deal execution

Career Trajectory…The typical career path:

Investment Banking Analyst Programs (2 yrs)

Private Equity Firms (3 yrs)

Hedge Funds

35 slots 3K to 5K applicants

2009 HF Compensation ReportValidates AKAMAI Initiative Thesis:

Validates the link between Investment Banking, Private Equity, and Hedge Funds

Validates the Asia focus due to growing demand for Analysts with Asia expertise

Validates Equity Long/Short as the dominant fund strategy

Why Asia-focused?Asia is the place to be:

Asia-based funds stepped up hiring of research analysts and portfolio managers

China, Korea, Japan and India coverage needed

The majority of the hiring has come from US-based funds with a physical presence in Asia

Why Long/Short Equity?By far the largest number of firms

Among the top in terms of performance

Why Long/Short Equity?By far the largest number of firms

Among the largest in terms of size…

Demand for Talent…Poaching:

Over the last several years, increasing demand for talent forced PE shops to accelerate recruiting efforts one year into investment banking programs

To ensure access to this talent pool, HF’s have begun approaching Analysts mid-way through the first year of their investment banking programs

Demand for Talent…Geography Doesn’t Matter:

Pay aligned with quality of candidate regardless of fund domicile

Investment professionals with bulge-bracket investment banking experience are typically paid at the higher end of the comp spectrum regardless of where the hiring firm is located

Demand for Talent…More Experienced Hires:

Although demand for more senior level hires has been outpaced by the need for junior level support, hedge funds continue to hire more seasoned candidates out of private equity funds

The shortage of IB modeling and valuation skills is so great that funds are relegated to hiring MBA’s and are starting to recruit on campus

Demand for Talent…Reasons for hiring MBA’s good news for us:

Need less training…

Experience…

The possibility of a history in a specific sector and related contacts…

five years experience

we train, five year program

program structure designed todevelop sector-specific expertise and contacts

Demand for Talent…Jr. Analysts, 1-2 Years Experience:

Small Med Large V Large

Middle Performing 175K 196K 252K 269K

Middle Performing 557K 700K 844K 1.46M

Top Performing 750K 1.2M 1.66M 3.37M

Uphill battle…Because compensation so great, competition very intense

Hard to get – Pedigree bias toward Ivy schools

People already working in the industry tend to hire the 3 F’s:

Family FriendsFellow Alum

Uphill battle…Ivy league students forming more clubs than ever, trying to prepare for application

Same students starting to prepare earlier and earlier

Uphill battle…So how do we compete?

Build world-class training program in niche with sustainable competitive advantage (Asia-focused)

Start earlier, work longer and harder to dominate that niche

Relationships – build a network in the industry by developing and maintaining longitudinal cohesive cohort

Value Proposition to StudentsWhat if you could:

Prepare for the actual recruitment and interview process

Prepare for the IB pre-testing and in-house training program

Become expert at the job you would be doing if you were already hired and working at it for five years

Rely on a Cohort member already in the indy to ensure your CV is reviewed by key decision makers

ALL BEFORE YOU APPLY

What if…What if we could build a program to do all that…

AND

Carve out and grow a niche asset management industry in Hawaii, that relies upon the above for labor needs:

Experienced ~ experienced ex-pats currently working out of state, looking to return home

Entry-Level ~ new hires just finished training

Interns ~ students still in the program

We’re Working On It…

The AKAMAI Finance Academy Financial Analyst Training Program

Educational Model Upside-Down

You pay us?

No…

Is it free?

No…

What’s better than free?

We pay you.

better

Educational Model Upside-Down We Pay You:

Senior PM $15K $15K $30K

Junior Asst. PM $12.5K $12.5K $25K

Sophomore Sr. Analyst $10K $10K $20K

Freshman Analyst $7.5K $7.5K $15K

HS Senior Jr. Analyst $5K $5K $10K

Above only .5 FTE, so $20K-$60K full-time equivalent range

Base Salary Bonus

TotalComp

Educational Model Upside-DownBenefit to Community:

Potential lifetime earnings millions to billions of dollars

More likely to return to Hawaii; help build Finance econ

More likely to hire local talent

Drastically increase odds of Ali’i Trust progeny

Benefit to AKAMAI Capital:

Training + Comp = attracting best talent

Best talent + program = best research & analysis

Best R&A hopefully translates to best performance

Which results in…

Reinforcing theoretical concepts through fully integrated work-based applications

Aligning positive incentives (base salary plus performance bonus tied to fund performance)

Eliminating the need for students to take unrelated jobs to finance their education and living expenses

Which results in…

Leveling the playing field for even the most disadvantaged students to participate

Building self-confidence and independence

Creating a transferable track record of experience and expertise in their sector of coverage during the 5 year program period

Hedge Fund Model Upside-DownUnlike traditional hedge fund models, both the AKAMAI Japan Long/Short Equity fund will be managed by an asset management company (AKAMAI Capital, LLC) that is 100% owned by an educational non-profit organization (The AKAMAI Foundation)

No multi-million dollar salaries for fund managers here...

Ensures tuition is always free and students can get paid to work and learn

AKAMAI Capital, LLC serves as both the "school" and asset manager, managing a portion of the non-profit parent's endowment while providing students hands-on training and pay

Where do the profits go?

Any profits generated by the operation of the funds:

Are circulated back to the educational mission to improve the training program

Provide students with equipment, materials and supplies

Provide the best trainers

Pay for all costs involved in field studies and internships in Asia, etc.

What Are You Smokin’?That’s not smoke, it’s steam ‘cause I’m upset:

The giggle-factor…Hawaii? Surfing? Hula?

Not invited to the party - Dunno the secret handshakeLet’s start our own partyNo dog in the fight? Afraid to try? Get in the canoe and paddle or stay home and cook riceWe’re just as capable…we can do itGive it away - do well by doing good

CurriculaOn the Educational side of the Initiative, our primary concern is:

Develop the world’s best program of its kind

The efficient delivery of program content

The ability of haumana (students) to develop, retain, and apply expertise in the area of study

Marked-to-Market Training…Make the learning process challenging, relevant, interesting and fun

Not bound by traditional collegiate course content and performance guidelines

Free to explore a panoply of creative ideas and proven market-based training methods

Our guidelines are:What does the industry say it wants from its candidates?How can we build our brand to overcome pedigree bias and get our Cohort into the industry?

CurriculaTo the extent possible, all curricula will be:

Real and fully integrated

Benchmarked to actual market-based best practices

Complementary to job description duties

Longitudinally cumulative

Yeah, just what the world needs…

More Investment Bankers?!

No, more of OUR kind of Investment Bankers:

Beneficiaries of a socially motivated programServant Leadership Community Service

Community Service and Servant Leadership incorporated into EVERY DAY of training for the entire five-year program

Culture-based Universal Values

Community Service Servant Leadership

Yes. Just what the world needs…

Your Kuleana Too…

This is our “ohana” – our Cohort; our family, and we must take care of our own

You are “hanai” - accepted into the family as family w/o blood relation

It is OUR “kuleana” - our responsibility, to develop the program for ourselves and future members

Your Kuleana Too…

It’s a giving thing…

It’s not enough to become great at what you do; you have to give something back; make it better for the next guy; leave it better than you found it

If you’re only thinking “what’s in it for me” this is not the program for you

From Waianae to Wall Street…Will require us to cut new trail:

We need to get ma’a to this field

The only way we can truly be in control of our own destiny

Preserve the way of life: kalo to kala to kalo

Mahalo!
