Lecture Series
The SWS Comp is an immersive program during the fall and spring semesters where students can gain knowledge about financial techniques, business concepts, research skills, and learn more about SWS opportunities. Meetings are weekly one-hour sessions where invited guest speakers talk about a diverse range of financial topics. The comp concludes with a group capstone stock pitch project. This process not only serves to launch compers into SWS Associate and Investment Team Analyst roles but also serves as an opportunity for anyone to enrich their financial knowledge.
