On Friday, September 15th, over 40 Marquette students and
faculty visited R.W. Baird at their headquarters in downtown Milwaukee. The Baird event was organized by
Sarah Sturycz and Alice Wycklendt (graduate of Marquette University, Accounting and
Finance - Applied Investment Management majors, 2012).
The AIM students heard a presentation about Baird’s Equity Capital
Markets Group (including information about their Equity Research, Sales & Trading, Investment Banking, Private Wealth Management and Asset Management functions). Baird representatives presenting to the students were:
-
Amy Junker, Associate Director of Research/Head
of Global Corporate Access;
-
Patrick Brown (Marquette Finance and IT, 2004,
and MSAE, 2012), Senior Vice President of Baird Advisors Fixed Income
Portfolio Management Team; and
-
Andy O’Connell (Marquette Finance – AIM Program,
2008), Vice President and Fixed Income Credit Analyst of Baird Advisors
Fixed Income Portfolio Management Team.
Following a question and answer period, four students in the AIM
Class of 2018 presented stocks to a group of over 10 Baird equity analysts – in
addition to the Marquette students and faculty in attendance. Prior to the
event the student equity write-ups were distributed to everyone in attendance.
The stocks presented were:

The Baird information session is
an ideal way for students to begin to understand the different functional areas
of asset management and investment banking. Additionally, for the students to
have the experience to pitch a stock in Baird’s Equity Capital conference room
before a group of analysts is amazing. They did a good job and pitched some
very interesting stocks. The visit was a success and we are thankful for our
relationship with Baird.”
