AIM Class of 2013 students to visit Chicago on Friday, March 2nd

Dr. David Krause, AIM program director indicated that the juniors will be visiting Chicago on Friday, March 2nd. The group will get an early start and after a two hour bus ride to Chicago will visit Ziegler Lotsoff Capital Management (20 N. Clark Street). We are thankful to our hosts - Marquette alumnus, Scott Roberts (President  & CEO), and  Maggie Baer (Managing Director and Chief Administrative & Operating Officer).


The group will then visit Loop Capital at 200 W. Jackson Blvd.  They will have an opportunity to visit with Albert Grace, Jr. (Co-Founder and President) and his associates. Four students will have an opportunity to present their first AIM equity presentations (see table below).



The third investment firm that the AIM students will visit is BMO Capital Markets at 115 S. LaSalle. Marquette alumni David Kucera (Managing Director and Head of U.S. Securitization) and Steve McManaman (Managing Director, Derivatives) have arranged the visit and will give the group a brief update on the capital markets/securitization and a tour of the BMO trading floor.


The final stop of the day will be at Morningstar at 22 W. Washington. Vishnu Lekraj (Senior Analyst - Industrial & Business Services, Institutional Equity Research) and Haywood Kelly (Senior Vice President, Head of Equity and Credit Research) have helped to arrange the visit.
