Asset Management

Overview

What's distinctive about the Johnson School's approach to asset management? Our depth and breadth of expertise in finance, accounting, and investment research and asset management is unparalleled. Here are just some of the things that set us apart:

Our Parker Center for Investment Research brings together world-renowned research, a virtual trading room with more sophisticated analytical software than most Wall Street firms, and the student-managed, faculty-directed Cayuga MBA Fund. In 2003, faculty and students at the Parker Center initiated a national MBA Stock Pitch Competition, which they continue to organize and host.
Our faculty in accounting, economics, and finance hold positions of distinction within their professions. Many are a widely-recognized experts and authors who are regularly called upon by industry and news media to interpret events in the financial world. In addition, they earn high praise for teaching because of their ability to engage, inspire, and challenge students on a daily basis.
Immersions are concentrated semester-long clusters of courses and hands-on experience in areas such as research, sales and trading and investment banking. Offered during the second semester of the first year, immersions give Johnson School students the knowledge edge that prepares them to add immediate value in their summer internships.
In our intense, collaborative community, students are deeply engaged with one another, outstanding faculty, and a continuous stream of experts within the financial industry. The relationships they form here become a lifelong network of colleagues.
That network expands exponentially through Cornell Connections. The university provides a great breadth and depth of research in multiple fields, a vast network of colleagues and alumni, and countless ways for Johnson School students to expand their knowledge. Among these are technical expertise in multiple areas of intellectual capital with commercial potential.
Performance Learning - The Johnson School provides students with hands-on experience unlike any other graduate program. The differences: applying a theoretical framework while receiving continual expert feedback in real-world situations with responsibilities for performance. Immersions, internships, the MBA Stock Pitch Competition, the Cayuga MBA Fund, the Investment Management Club, the Healthcare and Biotechnology Club, the High Tech Club, and the Old Ezra Finance Club are but a few of the many ways that Johnson School students learn while performing.
