Students enrolled in Portfolio Management (FI568) are assigned a stock to analyze. By the end of the semester, each student will write a report on whether the stock should be maintained in the portfolio or removed from it. If the recommendation is to keep the stock, the student also makes recommendations on whether to increase or decrease the number of holdings. Students also analyze stocks that are not in the portfolio and make recommendations on whether any should be added. The portfolio currently has a market value of $117,000.
