Rutgers University 3 credits Finance
The purpose of this course is to teach students how to create an actual portfolio that meets the needs of a client in a manner consistent with the investment philosophy of Graham, Dodd, and Buffett. The client (previously an individual, now the Rutgers University Foundation) wishes the portfolio to have a value orientation with hedge fund characteristics (i.e., the portfolio has both long and short positions). From an organizational standpoint, each student will serve as an analyst responsible for a particular sector or industry. Students will be required to write one comprehensive stock report (one long recommendation and/or one short recommendation) and present the findings of their best investment idea in front of the class. Students have the option of writing two stock reports (one long, one short sale) to maximize the skill set obtained from the course. There is an application process to be admitted into this course and the maximum number of students allowed into the course is eight. Prerequisites: Aggregate Economic Analysis (22:223:520 (FT)/22:223:591 (PT)), Financial Management (22:390:522 (FT)/22:390:587 (PT)), Accounting for Managers (22:010:502) (FT)/22:010:577 (PT)).
