The William and Leslie Nelson Trading Floor is an innovative experience made possible by a generous donation by William and Leslie Nelson. In a senior level course, students are charged with developing and presenting a plan to invest real money in order to build a scholarship fund. Over the course of the semester, students use state-of-the-art financial software (FACTSET) to do research on investments, while also learning how to conduct fundamental, technical, sectoral, and macroeconomic analysis. The term culminates in a presentation to our advisory board, which outlines the rationale behind the investment choices. It's the real thing- done with real money and generating real gains and losses.
