The university announced Feb. 3 the opening of the Edward Jones Investment Center, located on campus in Matthews Hall. Software on 30 new computers allows students to invest $300,000 while learning the dynamics of financial markets and risk management.
The software simulates placing buy and sell orders and portfolio management. Other lab features include an electronic ticker for equity indices, two televisionS with cable programming, a projector and Smartboard screen, and acces to financial databases such as Bloomberg and Reuters.
The center is made possible by a grant from the Missouri Southern Foundation and contributions from more than 50 Edward Jones investment representatives and home office general partners.
MSSU will dedicate the center March 17 to alumnus Jim Goodknight, a pioneer investment representative for Edward Jones in the region.
