Finance club of Asian Business School staged the first event on Saturday, 22 December 2012 at ABS Theatre. The event witnessed benign presence of Prof. Sandeep Marwah, President, Asian Education Group, Dr. Lalitya Vir Srivastava, Director, Asian Business School and respected faculty members.

Bulls n Bears have been formulated with the objective of spreading awareness about the financial world, demystifying the myths of personal finance and making the students of ABS economically wiser. The first event entitled – Mutual Fund Awareness Drive – aimed to spread the reach of mutual fund as a concept and product. The format of the event was designed to give students a perspective of mutual fund and enable them to step into the shoes of todays’ relationship managers and pitch the product. The event was also arranged to improve the place-ability scores of the students.

The entire college was divided into three groups – each group having a team of mentors from senior classes. The teams were tasked to prepare an awareness brochure and sell the concept to the faculty and staff. The so-assumed customers rated the teams on the basis of knowledge of the product, persuasion skills, ability to close the deal, and overall performance.

Also, the teams had to display the concept of mutual fund through the soft-board displays on the basis of which they were adjudged. In the end, the teams had to present the concept to the audience using various presentation techniques and role-plays.

The event was compared by Hritvik Shalabh. The three teams presented on three different topics – “Mutual fund – basic concepts”, “how to purchase mutual funds” and “what are the products available for investment better than mutual fund?”

The tagline of the event stated – Mutual fund investments are subject to market risks, please read the offer document carefully before investing, or visit ABS to know more about the product and diversify the risk. The students were visibly engaged and enriched through the event week.
