  1. Introduction to the Tozzi Center For Finance Career Searches Ross School of Business Finance Club By Zachary Emig MBA Class of 2005

  2. Presentation Outline • General Overview • Bloomberg • FactSet • Bank Research Portals • Conclusion

  3. I. General Overview • One of newest, most extensive Business school trading rooms in the country • Open to all MBA students • Unless a class is using it, free to come in any day of the week • Schedule available at: http://www.bus.umich.edu/FacultyResearch/ResearchCenters/Centers/Tozzi/Lab/ • Classes in Tozzi: FIN 640 (Fin. Trading), FIN 725 (Portfolio Mgmt.)

  4. II. Bloomberg • All Ross School Of Business students can sign up for a free Bloomberg login • Sign-up takes 10~15 minutes • Once you have a Bloomberg account, you can come in and use Bloomberg whenever you want (during free lab hours)

  5. II. Bloomberg (cont.) • Bloomberg is a very useful tool for following the markets, researching companies, keeping up with current events • At various points during the school year, Bloomberg certification classes are held in Tozzi (free to MBA students) • Finance Club 2004 Coursepack, section 8 has many useful Bloomberg commands

  6. II. Bloomberg (cont.) Useful Bloomberg Commands:

  7. III. FactSet • Useful tool for screening on stocks, researching companies & sectors • On every computer in the Tozzi Center, although certain workstations have “fuller” versions • Does not require a login/password, so available for use whenever the Tozzi Center is available

  8. III. FactSet (cont.) • Tip: the version of FactSet with the “FRD” button along the left side is very powerful • FRD = First Research Direct = access to IB research reports on the current company and its sector • VERY useful for S&T&R interviews: having research reports is like having a cheat sheet of what Wall Street thinks about a stock!!!

  9. IV. Bank Research Portals • Tozzi Center has logins to 4 banks’ institutional research portals: • Morgan Stanley • Merrill Lynch • UBS • Citigroup • Only Kai has these logins, so use is restricted to the Tozzi Center

  10. IV. Bank Research Portals (cont.) • Again, these are tremendous resources for recruiting that other schools do not have • Research reports help you: • Learn different products (CDOs, MBS, FX, etc.) • Follow arguments about what’s happening in the economy • Get the sell-side’s view on individual stocks and sectors • Two I’d recommend: • UBS’ Brokerage Industry – What to Watch (monthly) • Merrill’s The Market Economist (weekly) by David Rosenberg

  11. V. Conclusion The Tozzi Center is very useful for any job search:

  12. V. Conclusion (cont.) • Don’t underestimate how unique a resource Tozzi is among business schools • A couple of Chicago FinClub members drove down here just to see it; mentioned they have 1 Bloomberg terminal in the entire school • S&T: I have a CD of useful technical guides; see me in breakout session • Q&A
