SLAM – Student-Led Asset Management

About SLAM

The PCSB Student-Led Asset Management (“SLAM”) program launched in fall 2020. SLAM is structured like a real Wall Street asset management firm with portfolio managers and analysts. The program gives students real experience in investment management, which provides a competitive advantage when interviewing for internships and full-time employment. SLAM teaches students how to conduct fundamental security analysis, create financial models, and effectively pitch investment ideas.

Investment Philosophy

In light of Providence College’s Catholic and Dominican traditions, the PCSB Student-Led Asset Management (SLAM) seeks to optimize the return on its assets through prudent investment policies while incorporating Catholic ethical standards into the investment management process. Investment in companies whose products or policies are counter to the values of Catholic moral teaching or statements adopted by the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops is to be avoided.
