MSF for work in Latin America

I would like to work in Latin America. In order to get entry to finance work in the region I will do a MSF. Where should i study the MSF? Does any particular college have stronger links to Latin america?

I am open to Europe (Spain?), USA (where I live), or even schools in Latin America if that makes sense.

If you are already from the region, then doing a masters in the US or Europe will certainly boost your credentials. Any top 10 program in the US will position you well, as well as schools like LSE, INSEAD, or ESADE in Europe.

The pool of great schools in Latin America is much smaller. If you are interested in doing investment banking in South America, then shoot for a school like Universidad de los Andes in Colombia which is quite reputable for finance and economics. Alternatively, Central America boasts a great business school: INCAE. INCAE has historic ties to HBS...

On balance, I think Latin American investment banks and private equity firms value an MBA more than an MSF, but it ultimately depends what vein in finance you are thinking of taking.

Best.
