Testimonials

RSIC distinguishes itself as an organization that prioritizes and integrates the perspectives of all team members. This approach empowers individuals to make significant contributions as they experience a genuine impact from their efforts. I have benefited from comprehensive involvement across the Plan through the Associate Program and continue to find that the opportunities for personal growth significantly exceed standard expectations for junior-level roles.

I chose to start my career at RSIC because I was given an opportunity to invest on behalf of those impacting our community everyday, while learning about the world of institutional investing. RSIC prioritizes collaboration and intellectual curiosity, which further solidified the ideal environment to begin my career.
