Financial Management Association

The RIT Financial Management Association is a Saunders College of Business club dedicated to the advancement of student-centric investing. FMA manages a $250,000+ Stock and ETF investment portfolio.

Each week we discuss our portfolio standings, have stock pitches for both buying and selling, and have club discussion regarding news events.

Our meetings are every Wednesday from 6:30 - 7:30pm in GOS-A300.

Recent Pitch:

EVBN

Thesis: We recommend selling EVBN due to their stagnant market share caused by fierce competition, escalating loan delinquencies, compressed net interest margins, decelerated mortgage growth, and substantial headwinds from the U.S. recession.
