The AIM
student equity pitches take place each Friday afternoon during the semester –
either in the AIM Room or at a local investment company. Watch the live
presentations by the students in the AIM Class of 2017 (see webcast link
below).
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.
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.
