This upcoming GW Giving Day (April 4 and 5, 2023) we are raising funds for a FactSet subscription! Access to FactSet is instrumental for the research that our students perform in our classes and ultimately helps to improve the probability for higher performance for our GW Student Investment Funds. Our alumni advocate and Teaching Assistant Trevor Haen shared how FacSet is incorporated into weekly assignments and class overall.
Additionally, the FactSet platform is available to all students, faculty and staff at GW.
“FactSet is a comprehensive financial information system that provides accurate and timely data on financial statements, real-time market tracking, industry analysis, and more. The GWII has quickly and fully incorporated the resource into the curriculum, aiding students in fundamental and quantitative stock research. Through conducting company research, forecasting financial statements, and creating valuation models, students generate high-quality analyses of portfolio holdings and investment recommendations. The industry standard software has facilitated a unique hands-on learning experience for students and prepares them for careers in the financial services industry.”
