All FSG members must attend the ISBE Wide Forum.

Sunday, March 2nd
6:00-6:50 PM
Harris 107

We will be holding the first Introduction to Options class on Sundays at 2PM. For the first class, we will hand out the syllabus and go over what options are, what they are used for, and why you should know about them. The course will run from now until the end of the quarter and cover topics such as option pricing, trading strategies, and how you can go about using options. We will be using the software thinkorswim to demonstrate how to trade options, so please go to http://www.thinkorswim.com and download their software if you want to follow along or use it to execute your own trades–it is a very good piece of software.

Please e-mail one of the FSG directors if you have further questions.

The Principles of Finance final exam will be held this Sunday at 4PM in Swift Hall 107. Remember, only those who have come to at least 5 out of the 6 classes are eligible to take the exam.

You can find more information and a study guide in the Members’ Only section.

The first Principles of Finance class is this Sunday, October 7th at 4 PM. It will be held in Jacobs G40, which is in the Kellogg building. The classes will continue at the same time and place every Sunday until November 18th.

All Northwestern students who want to learn more about finance are encouraged to come. The Kellogg MBA mentors will be introduced, and they will also go over career opportunities in the financial services industry. Subsequent classes will concentrate on financial topics such as The Federal Reserve Bank, analyzing financial statements, valuing a stock, and many others. For more information, see the syllabus below.

Remember: New FSG members are required to attend at least 5 of the 6 courses to be eligible for the final exam. In turn, only those who pass the final exam will be invited to move on to other divisions of FSG.

Principles of Finance Syllabus, Fall 2007

First of all, thank you to all of those who came to the ISBE information session on Wednesday night. It was great to see so many new faces.

FSG will not be having an individual information session. Instead, all new members should come to the Principles of Finance class this Sunday, October 7th. The class is in Jacobs G40 (Kellogg) and runs from 4-5 PM. The six-week class is mandatory for all those that want to join other divisions of FSG in the future. For more information, see the information session handouts attached below. We will also be sending out a finalized syllabus shortly over the ISBE listserv.

Students who have been in FSG in the past or who have had finance experience that goes beyond the introductory class can contact one of the FSG Directors to inquire about joining a different group in FSG.
