• Simulations are very practical problem-solving exercises related to real-life investment banking situations.
• Students work on scenarios, such as distressed debt negotiations, or risk-reward profile of a specific hedge fund strategy, based on current market data. Faculty members serve as the counter-party, or pose questions, for example, in order to protect the interests of various debt and equity stakeholders.
• Simulations culminate in presentations made by students. Faculty members evaluate the presentations and offer summary lessons.

Teams are assigned most relevant capital market topics for detailed study. Presentations end with students proposing concrete recommendations to potential clients and investors.
