Wells Fargo Financial Markets Lab

The primary purpose of the LSBE Financial Markets Program is to give students an opportunity to apply their knowledge and understanding in a real-world investment setting. Through the creation of the Wells Fargo Financial Markets Lab, students have “fingertip” access into the inner workings of today’s global financial marketplace.

The Wells Fargo Financial Markets Lab is a 1,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility. Participating students are given their own work area which encompasses a designated PC workstation and ample storage space designed to replicate a “trading room” environment. Reuters’ Bridgestation provides instant access to current events and information shaping today’s global financial markets. Participants become acclimated to industry-standard software programs such as Reuter’s BridgeStation, Tradestation, Baseline, Thomson Analytics, Investors Business Daily Online, Barron’s Online and the Wall Street Journal Online. Students also become proficient using MS Excel and MS PowerPoint. In 2006, the entire technological platform of the Wells Fargo Financial Markets Lab was updated and brought in-line with industry standards.
