Finance & Investment in Sports (FINS) introduces members to capital markets, institutional investment, and financial strategy in sports. Over 8 weeks, members build the analytical and valuation skills that carry directly into finance recruiting, learning through live deals instead of theory. The program centers on two capstone pitches, a private or alternative investment raise and a public equity recommendation, similar to the work done at investment banks, private equity funds, and equity research desks. It's built for students with a foundation in accounting who want direct exposure to how money actually moves in sports.
