Over two sequential courses for 6 credits in total (Spring 1 & Spring 2), students act as investment analysts—valuing publicly traded companies, assessing ESG and impact performance, presenting to advisors, and making decisions that shape the live FSISIF portfolio. Through this course, using resources available to them through Duke, students learn to integrate financial, strategic, and impact analysis; build and defend investment and impact theses; and manage a portfolio of investments with both sustainability and fiduciary duty in mind. This course is part of Fuqua's series of learning by doing practicum courses, and is fast-paced, experiential, and team-based. The fund decisions are solely student driven; two second year MBA Fund Co-managers are elected each year and oversee all trades on the funds. Teaching faculty are responsible for providing learning structure, lecturing, bringing in guest speakers, advising, and grading student deliverables.
