President’s Welcome
Welcome to Michigan Stocks and Bonds Organization! My name is Prah Pant and I am the President for the 2024 calendar year. MSBO is a premier undergraduate investing club that helps members gain experience in pitching a wide variety of assets as well as managing an active portfolio. After graduating, our members work across a wide variety of firms and industries both within and outside of finance.
MSBO was founded based on four principles: investing, education, philanthropy, and professional development. These principles are the North Star of our organization and underlie every aspect of the club. Prospective members do not need to be studying at Ross or majoring in Finance, we are looking for those that are passionate about the industry and open to learning.
For those interested in applying, I encourage you all to come to events and meet the team. As much as we are getting to know you, we hope that you want to get to know us as well. The organizations that you join will be your community for the next four years and so choosing the right one for you is a big decision. I look forward to meeting you all soon and please do not hesitate to reach out at board@michiganstocksandbonds.org with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Prah Pant | President, 2024
Our Pillars
Investment
We employ a diligent approach to generating returns on a risk-adjusted basis through an investment style relying on top-down and bottom-up fundamental analysis. Through rigorous research and sourcing of investment ideas, teams across a variety of sectors pitch their ideas to the executive board and broader club. With enough member support, successful pitches will be incorporated into MSBO’s portfolio.
Education
We pride ourselves on our education progam, teaching the most important and applicable concepts in markets and investing. New members will participate in weekly education sessions led by the VP of Education, which include both academic and practical applications of topics such as Financial Market, Fundamental Analysis, Accounting, and Valuation. Members will hone these skills through club-wide stock pitches.
Philanthropy
Our purpose goes beyond investing. We are committed to further the betterment of the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, and Detroit community. Whether its volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House, teaching personal finance at Ann Arbor high schools, or raising money for the Ukraine Relief Fund, members can make a positive impact through student-initiated philanthropic endeavors.
Professional Development
Our members go on to work at the top firms throughout the world in a variety of industries and roles. We pride ourselves on our strong alumni pipeline, exclusive speaker opportunities, and recruiting events. Additionally, new members will learn skills in crafting a resume, networking, interviewing, and more.
Sector Desks
As an analyst, you will be placed into one of eight sectors to pitch an investment idea.
Michigan Stocks and Bonds was founded out of the collective ambition of student investors. Our goal is to help students turn their own ideas and visions into successful investments.
