Corporate Finance vs Investment Management

In the last semester of my MBA program, I’ll be going into IB after graduating. My long-term hope is to break into REPE down the road.

While largely meaningless, I was able to get a few specializations with my classes that may serve as good talking points on my resume later. I can choose between either Corporate Finance or Investment Management but not both.

Which would you choose as someone who hopes to recruit into REPE in the future?
