Marquette and the AIM program are proud of the success of Baird’s
fixed income team – especially because of the large number of alumni involved
at all levels of the organization.
Dan Tranchita and Andy O’Connell again delivered
a strong presentation to the students that included current news and strategies
– as well as meaningful insights into the application of the concepts talk in
Dr. Krause’s Fixed Income class.
Dr. David Krause, AIM program director and professor of
finance at Marquette, said, “It is always great to have alumni return to
campus; however, it is more than just a friendly visit. Dan and Andy are a
great example of how we work investment professionals and other practitioners
into the curriculum. Not only do they bring current insights, but they help to
reinforce the material contained within the CFA curriculum – which we utilize
within the AIM program at Marquette.”
Krause continued, “I always like to bring them into the Fixed
Income class during the first week of the semester because we're able to draw on
the material from their presentation throughout the semester. Thanks to Dan and Andy - and Baird Advisors for
supporting our students at Marquette.”
