Equity research projects
Investment philosophy and essentials (included four important books)
In the spring semester, the club will conduct 1-3 real equity research projects to apply the essential skills to the real investing world.
For example, in the previous semester, ERA researched the large-cap banking industry in the U.S. The research narrowed to 5 companies that are more promising related to future performance. In the project, we apply the investment philosophy, financial modeling, investment analysis, etc., that we learned before to make a deep and professional project.
