ASAP students manage over $50 million in equity and fixed-income assets as part of the program's hands-on approach to investment training.
The learning experience consists not only of individual security analysis but also encompasses investment philosophy, process, trading and risk management.
The ASAP is a CFA Program Partner,[1] which indicates that its curriculum reflects professional practice and is appropriate for students seeking the Chartered Financial Analyst designation.
The ASAP was founded in 1970 by Professor Stephen L. Hawk, who served as the program’s academic director from 1970 to 1985.
A $100,000 grant from the Brittingham Foundation was used to create the initial student-managed equity fund that sits at the core of the program's real-world approach to investment education.
