This will be a cozy and collaborative session for MIT students (and other community members) to learn about how finance really works at major broker-dealers and their customers.  It will be facilitated by Toh Ne Win (MIT VI-3-P/XV 2003), an alum of ESG and Managing Director at Goldman Sachs, via interactive exploration of real world problems.  This is how Toh remembers learning things at ESG, and how he currently teaches finance to new clients and employees on Wall St.  Please come prepared with paper, pencil, an open mind and a willingness to speak up.  No financial experience necessary.
