SFP Featured Course: Investing in the Good Life

The Art of Investing is an advanced, capstone course aimed at weaving together insights from senior members of the Notre Dame Investment Office, CEOs, Investors, and other leaders from various fields. The objective of the course is to present a broad perspective on security analysis that goes beyond valuation and models. The focus will be analyzing investments from a more well-rounded perspective, incorporating aspects of sustainability, capital allocation, firm culture, and leadership into security analysis. Thus, the students will come from various backgrounds and majors and be expected to bring their insights to bear on case studies and readings for each class session. An important feature of this course is the willingness to participate in discussions and the ability to manage both detailed and broad discussion topics regarding specific companies, broader markets, and human behavior.
