Students of Indian School of Businesses (ISB) will now get hands-on training in trading.
ISB, in association with the National Stock Exchange (NSE), has set up a trading laboratory at its campus here.
Chitra Ramakrishna, MD & CEO of NSE, said the collaboration with ISB was the first-of-its-kind for NSE with any business school.
The lab offers access to Bloomberg, Thomson Reuters, Morningstar, S&P Capital IQ and Wharton Research Data Services.
Apart from students, the lab’s risk and governance initiative will also help investors, executives, bankers and fund managers to improve their skills, the Dean said. On the investment front, it will focus on helping developed markets understand emerging markets and building global investment portfolios, he added. It will draw together expertise from accounting, psychology, asset management, value investing, behavioural finance, trading strategies and private equity to build a more scientific view of investment, Rangnekar said.
