Requirements for Consideration

• Attend both the final in-person Fall 2026 Titans class on December 2, 2026, from 4:00 – 6:00 pm and dinner immediately after with Titans alumni as hosts.

Class uses a Junto model, which is designed as a society for mutual self-improvement populated by high capacity people who “do well by doing good.” This concept was first employed by Ben Franklin.

Class meets once per week for two hours to discuss key “big picture” issues in investing, finance and life using Classic Briefs written and updated by Titans. Classic Briefs are summaries of historical/classic writings that must be less than 10 pages and communicate the book’s key message in a clear and interesting way.

• Week One: Titans meet alone and discuss the material among themselves: –
• Preparing a summary of their key lessons as well as their particular questions and observations.
• Update various global portfolios that they are required to manage.
• Prepare a market report on investment results and key market factors.
• Week Two: Professors meet with the Titan group to receive their portfolio review, market updates, and key lessons on that week’s material. They then present the lesson directly.
• Following each class led by the professors, the Titans are taken to dinner at a location of their choice. The purpose is to create lifelong friendships.
• Classic readings are taken from a proprietary list of books that all nominated by 80 leading CIO’s, investors, CEO’s, top academics, and top economists each semester.
• As the class progresses the Titans take on incrementally more responsibility for their own teaching.

The class will be a mix of MBA, MSF and BBA students (~20).
