What We Learn:
The finance committee prides itself on the ability to provide much needed financial education to members and in depth analysis within multiple markets. This involves learning about brokerages, financial statement analysis, derivatives and wise investing values. As a new committee the co-chairs also strive to bring the experience of money management within the committee as paper trading is very different to working with real capital. This experience also allows the members to experience flawed emotions of “FOMO” and grow confidence within their own analysis and patience for market corrections. By learning these skills and traits at an early stage, many of the committee members become better prepared for their careers on Wall Street than their counterparts.
