Kristin Holzhauer and Mark Rutherford Featured in Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel Investment Article

Today an investment article in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel featured two AIM students - Kristin Holzhauer and Mark Rutherford. The business section of the Journal Sentinel focuses on one Wisconsin money manager or analyst in its weekly feature, Investment Trends, written by Kathleen Gallagher. The goal of the weekly feature is to look at an investment trend that helps investment professionals make their decisions.

The Monday, November 8th edition of Investment Trends featured Kristin Holzhauer and Mark Rutherford - two Marquette AIM students who are the lead analysts for the industrial materials sector of the AIM Equity Fund. Kathleen Gallagher interviewed them and Dr. Krause last week. The story featured two of the stocks they recently added to the AIM Equity Fund. The stocks were Stepan Company (ticker: SCL)  and Clean Harbors (ticker: CLH).
