This course will help students learn how to be investment bankers. Taught by an experienced ex-banker on the faculty of Johnson, this class will introduce students to capital raising, LBO, and strategic M&A transactions in a hands-on way that will focus on how to perform IB analyst-level duties. Students will be introduced to valuation (comps, precedents, and DCF), accretion/dilution, and how to assemble a pitch book. Working in groups, students will be presented with real-world assignments and will present their work in class. No prelim or final exam. (MHA-EL)
