How Balyasny Supports Analyst Development
Jun 26, 2025
At BAM, analyst development isn’t just a program—it’s core to our culture. Recently, we spoke to Bill Wappler, Partner and Global Director of Research, and Jason Levine, Director, Associate and Analyst Development, about how their team works with each analyst to build their careers and refine the skills necessary to succeed.
A Culture of Growth

“We will work with you to get you where you want to be.”
Jason Levine
Director, Associate and Analyst Development
Analysts at Balyasny are encouraged to take an active role in shaping their career paths. Whether your goal is to improve your skills, become a senior analyst, or to eventually become a Portfolio Manager, our Analyst Development team is dedicated to helping you get to where you want to be.
Empowering Creativity

“The best PMs and analysts are strong analytically but in addition they have creativity.”
Bill Wappler
Partner and Global Director of Research
Creativity is the edge that allows analysts to see opportunities outside the consensus. This unique perspective can lead to the strongest investment ideas. Watch the video below to see how Bill and Jason encourage analysts to combine technical skills with creativity.
