My slanted perspective, sorry to confuse. My sole exposure to “financial math” programs is with people who want to be “quants”, or financial engineers, supporting trading operations in securities, commodities or energy trading firms.Called “Financial Strategies” groups, by some. Few other people in those firms outside of these small analytical support groups needed anything like this level of quantitative horsepower to do their various jobs. Just these guys.

I have no real insight on what money managers need.

Now that I think about it, some people in my MBA program were sort of focused on"financial math" of a sorts; they were interested in becoming actuaries. Never thought about these other avenues; just the [perhaps small] subset of financial math students that I have direct experience with.
