 The Financial Markets Center, part of C.W. Post's College of Management,
gives students hands-on experience in Wall Street-type research and
trading. The Financial Markets Center mimics the real life investing
and money management situations that students may encounter in their
professional lives. Students participate in a program through which
they are responsible for all aspects of money management for a hypothetical
portfolio, from fund inception to continuous management to accountability.
Students have access to real-time information on current market conditions.
They choose from an assortment of investment options, and place orders
for the purchase and sale of securities. Continuous benchmarking is
noted, as students are required to account for their relative performance.
Used as part of a curriculum for finance students, this establishes
an applied link to the theoretical courses already being taught. The
Center also provides students with the opportunity for meaningful
extracurricular work that is beneficial as they seek future employment.
