Students seeking careers as investment analysts must demonstrate proficiency in analytical and presentation skills.  In the investment industry, analysts make regular presentations of their ideas to an Investment Committee.  To prepare students to excel as investment analysts, the Garrison Financial Institute holds weekly Investment Committee meetings.  During these meetings students present their recommendations to our own Investment Committee.  Students begin with their domestic and international economic outlook, and then identify sectors that will flourish or underperform.  For each sector, students analyze stocks and make presentations generating buy, sell, or hold recommendations for our student–managed funds.
