ASSOCIATE PROGRAM

AEA's senior investment professionals receive support in all aspects of their responsibilities from members of the AEA associate program, which has been in existence for approximately fifteen years. Currently, AEA has 24 associates in its New York, London, Hong Kong and Shanghai offices focused on investments targeted by the 2006 Program. Before joining AEA, associates have generally completed two to three years of work experience and have earned undergraduate degrees from a leading university. Associates typically spend two to three years at AEA before entering leading graduate business schools or pursuing other interests. AEA views the associate program as an important means by which to identify and develop future senior investment professionals of the firm. Currently, two managing directors, two principals, and four vice presidents have been promoted from the associate program.
