Practical experience in investments--IMPFaculty moderator: Dr. Hong Rim The Investment Management Program (IMP) is to help students to integrate theory with practice in investments and to provide students a unique hands-on educational experience for portfolio management. Students have full discretion over the management of a real dollar portfolio (aka, Wisman Fund) by making all the decisions involving its management. Students are required to perform substantial presentations and research investment opportunities, the economy, and securities on an expectation and predictive basis. Specifically, its educational objectives are to help students to 1) participate in the actual practice of portfolio management by making recommendations to buy, sell, or hold based on their research in stocks and industries; 2) learn effective forms of small group interaction and teamwork; 3) enhance their understanding of new technology and utilization of relevant information for a thorough security analysis; 4) develop risk-reduction techniques and safeguards; and 5) develop skills applicable in general business settings (e.g., management techniques, presentation skills, …). The IMP class has provided scholarship funds to four students every year since 2015. |
