WHAT WE DO
ITP is a hands-on finance club. Members research stocks, build models, compete in pitch competitions, and connect with professionals from across the industry.
Pitch Competitions
The core of what ITP does. Members research publicly traded companies, build full investment theses, and present buy or sell recommendations to the club. The best pitches advance to regional and national collegiate competitions.
- Internal pitch sessions: present your thesis and defend your model
- DCF, comparable company, and precedent transaction analysis
- Judged by e-board and guest evaluators from industry
- Top pitches compete at national collegiate investing competitions
Guest Speaker Series
ITP regularly brings in working professionals from across the finance industry. Sessions are Q&A-heavy by design, not just lectures. Past guests have covered careers in investment banking, asset management, hedge funds, private equity, and trading.
- Professionals from investment banks, asset managers, hedge funds, and PE firms
- Direct Q&A time — not just a slide deck
- Networking opportunity before and after each session
