The Bender Trust Project

The Bender Trust Research Project introduces students to the basics of investment analysis. After a series of training workshops hosted by LIBOR, students formulate and present an equity research report to Greg Francfort, a portfolio manager at Neuberger Berman. Francfort ultimately reviews the student recommendations for the Bender Trust, which was created by David T. Bender for the benefit of student-athletes.
