Reithinger, majoring in Management and Computer Science Engineering, is also a member of the Lally Hedge Fund Group. He interned as a Capital Markets Analyst for the summer.
Dix Hills Partners, co-founded in 2003 by William Gordon ‘77, manages over $790 million in investments.
Reithinger reports: "I have been having a great time at Dix Hills. Personally, I love the small-business atmosphere that exists here. It is definitely a breath of fresh air compared to my previous work experiences. I have been working extensively with the Senior Research Analyst on modeling various economic factors that might predict trends and prices in futures markets. We have been using a lot of statistical models and I have learned a ton about interest rates, futures markets, and developing econometric models. I would highly recommend it as a rich learning experience; however, I do caution that it is not for everybody. I think you need to have lots of self-motivation to work in this kind of environment and not give up easily when a model fails."
