The AIM student equity pitches take place each Friday afternoon
during the semester – either in the AIM Room or at a local investment company. The students prepare
and distribute a professional equity write-up (note: every AIM write-up since
the inception of the program in 2005 is archived
here). This week’s equity write-ups can be found at:
The students are responsible for making a five-minute
pitch before their peers, faculty and any alumni or investment professional in
attendance (note: the Friday afternoon equity presentations are also webcast
live - see below on how to join the webcast).
Following the student’s pitch the floor is opened for questions and
answers for about ten minutes. This has been highly instructive as the students
must be prepared to defend their investment recommendation and answer questions
in an extemporaneous manner.
