The course is designed to teach students to analyze an investment opportunity, understand its value and role within a managed portfolio and pitch an investment idea to a committee of professionals. The double challenge of understanding financial risk and opportunity while displaying the communication skills to make a pitch showcase the unique experiences and benefits students gain from an Oglethorpe education.
