Arrancar Investments was founded in 2024 by a group of students who recognized that traditional finance education doesn't fully prepare students for the intensity of high-finance recruiting. We built this organization to fill that gap.
Today, we have over 15+ active members from diverse academic backgrounds — finance, economics and commerce. We are united by a shared ambition to break into investment banking, private equity, sales & trading, and asset management.
