Nicholas S. Johnson

Active Member

BBA 4th Year


Mr. Nicholas Johnson is a  senior studying finance at Loyola University's School of Business.  One of Mr. Johnson's talents is his entrepreneurial leadership and recruiting skills he learned while being President and founder of his fraternity.  The opportunity to work with and truly help people on a personal level and the intellectual challenge of creating wealth through investing are what draw him to this field and the Investment Banking and Financial Markets Club.  With regard to experiences related directly to the club, in this past school year he has interned at Northwestern Mutual Financial Network and is currently interning at North Star Investment Management Corporation.  Additionally, he has done extensive reading on the subject of investing on his own.  It is possible that he has gleaned as much knowledge of the field from reading the likes of Benjamin Graham as he has in the classroom.  He feels that Graham’s quantitative and straightforward approach, value investing, detailed in “The Intelligent Investor” provides vitally fundamental knowledge that is largely omitted in many curricula.
