32nd annual ProAm dinner with investment professional speakers. alumni and guests can enjoy participating in a mock portfolio and just learn about investing ideas and trends.
Event Details
The annual ProAm Investment Challenge is a stock picking contest started by the Booth Alumni Club of Atlanta in 1987, and which has since spread to Booth clubs in other cities. The contest consists of investing a hypothetical $100,000 portfolio in 2-5 investments, long or short. We call it a ProAm because the Atlanta club has professional investors present their picks at a dinner event, where the attendees
then turn in their selections.
