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.
