James Riley Jr. Trading Room
We offer on-site, real-life experience in the financial world.
Our high-tech trading room is equipped with the same Bloomberg terminals used by Wall Street financial professionals. These terminals are used by students for advanced research and analytics, and all finance majors earn their Bloomberg Market Concepts certification.
The Trading Room, equipped with Bloomberg terminals, is a great resource for students. Not only does it provide access to an industry-standard tool with a wide range of uses, but it also offers a space for collaborative learning. Spending time in the Trading Room not only enhances our knowledge of finance and the markets but also emphasizes the value of sharing ideas and teamwork.

Investing in Student Success
Embark on an enriching journey with our (FIN-480) course as students actively engage in the Student Investment Fund. Working closely with a dedicated faculty member, participants gain hands-on experience by offering insightful recommendations for fund investments.
This fund, integrated into Adelphi University’s esteemed endowment since 2008, owes its existence to the generous support of James Riley Jr., a respected retired managing partner from Goldman Sachs & Co. and a cherished benefactor of Adelphi.
The fund is currently valued at approximately $500,000.
We’re an Official Bloomberg Experiential Learning Partner
