The Program
Professional Mentorship
Each school is matched with a volunteer mentor working in investment management. Mentors guide students through company analysis, valuation and the investment decision process.
Research & Analysis
Guided by by industry experts during live sessions, students learn how to assess a company’s performance, study its competitors, and decide whether to recommend buying or selling the stock.
Final Pitch
Teams submit a video presentation and a written investment report, which are reviewed by a panel of investment professionals — an exciting opportunity to showcase their understanding, analysis, and communication skills.
