The Analyst Program
In 2008, GCI created its Analyst Program. The program is geared towards students looking to advance their knowledge of investing by researching a specific sector that they are interested in. The Analyst Program is divided into 6 major sectors:
- Industrials
- Consumer Retail
- Financials
- Technology, Telecommunications, and Media
- Energy
- Healthcare
While analysts may be interested in a specific sector, they are by no means limited to research only in one sector and, instead, are free to research and examine any topic they want. Once an analyst has compiled enough information about a given topic, he or she is able to present his or her findings to the club in a clear and concise presentation. This allows students to learn from each other and enhance their knowledge of finance by actively participating in the fund.
