Students work through actual investment scenarios from 2023-2024, analyzing real company data and market conditions to understand decision-making processes.
We start with fundamental ratio analysis, then move to sector comparisons, and finally tackle complex portfolio optimization strategies.
Small groups tackle different aspects of the same investment opportunity, then present findings to simulate real investment committee discussions.
Students manage virtual portfolios with real market data, making decisions and tracking outcomes over semester-long periods.
These methods came from our own trial and error. Early classes were too theoretical, and students struggled to apply concepts. Now we see much better retention and practical understanding.
Traditional finance exams test memorization. We focus on practical application and critical thinking. Students need to demonstrate they can actually analyze investments, not just recite formulas.
Students pitch their investment recommendations to a panel, defending their analysis and responding to challenging questions about risk and valuation assumptions.
Comprehensive analysis of companies or sectors, including financial modeling, competitive positioning, and investment thesis development with peer review components.
Students receive market changes or new information mid-project and must adapt their analysis and recommendations, simulating real-world investment challenges.
Our instructors bring decades of combined experience from investment firms, research organizations, and academic institutions. Here's what they've learned about effective financial education.
