Kellogg Launches Asset Management Program

Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management has announced the launch of a new asset management program that will give MBA students practical experience in applying theoretical concepts and analytical tools to a financial portfolio.

Students selected for the program will spend a year managing a financial portfolio under the supervision of a Finance professor and taking prescribed courses. A designated faculty member or student will monitor portfolios for students who temporarily leave campus for summer internships or other MBA-related activities.

The first asset management practicum will be launched this spring. Admission to the program is expected to be highly competitive.
