The fifth and final set of stock pitches by the AIM Class of 2018 were delivered on 5/5/2017 in the AIM Room before 50 students

The 5th Set of Marquette AIM Equity Fund pitches for the Class of 2018 were presented on Friday, May 5, 2017 in the AIM Room 

This past week, the fifth and final set of stock recommendations were presented by students in the AIM Class of 2018.  The pitches were presented in the College of Business Administration's AIM Room and over 50 students were in attendance (including 10 students from the newly enrolled AIM Class of 2019.

In addition to the seniors and juniors regularly in attendance for the Friday afternoon pitches, 15 people viewed the AIM presentations via webcast throughout the afternoon. The AIM students were also joined by Michael Reardon, an AIM alumnus. Mr. Bill Walker, Dr. Joseph Wall and students in the AIM Classes of 2017 and 2018 asked excellent questions of the student-presenters and offered many useful observations and comments. 

Dr. Krause added, “This was a strong set of presentations – with 5 of the 6 being international securities. These non-US companies are always challenging to research and present. I thought the students were well prepared and did a solid job. The Class of 2018 has started their time in the AIM program on a very positive note. We’ll have an opportunity next week to make final adjustments to the AIM portfolios before the end of the semester."
