FISD Rising Stars Program

Grow your network alongside your career.

The FISD Rising Stars program is for new entrants to the financial information space. Our roster members range from recent graduates, young professionals, to career pivoters. There is no age range for a Rising Star, but the activities are specifically designed to help develop your market data knowledge, industry network, and confidence in your career. Most members have under 10 years of experience in market data.
