Investment Banking Essentials

Catalog description

Investment Banking Essentials is structured to provide Executive MBA students with real world investment banking experience in an academic environment. Students, working individually and in teams, will play the role of investment bankers throughout the week. Assignments will be structured in the form of client pitchbook presentations, which will generally be presented during class. Students will be introduced to the capital raising, leveraged buyout, and merger & acquisition processes. You will be working on real, forward-looking transactions for each assignment. The subject company of the LBO case, for instance, will be a public company with current LBO speculation. As such, pre-readings and assignments will generally be delivered the week prior to class. Pre-readings will generally be kept to under 1 hour, and you will be provided with ample time to complete and submit your assignments.
